  1. Hi guys, I am interested in this method as well. I have a LG Flatron 915FT Plus and do I need to specify the monitor like what you guys just did? Thx
  2. Will the recovery console delete all the data files inside my brother's computer?
  3. Hi guys, I was wondering if anyone here is able to spend a little time and take a look at my registry settings and tell me if there are any redundant entries? Also can someone help me organize the settings?

  4. This morning, my brother turned on his computer and notice a error message on the bios screen that say, "NTLDR is missng. Press CTR+ALT+DEL to restart computer." However, the computer won't restart even if I press CTR+ALT+DEL and it's still at that screen as I type this post. Please help!
  5. I guess my first post wasn't very specific...Anyway, the monitor drivers, including the .inf file are placed in my 004_monitor folder. I also added the line, OemPnPDriversPath="004_monitor" to my winnt.sif file. DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore and still my monitor driver fails to install correctly. What's going on? I know the drivers does work because I can install them manually.
  6. All my other drivers installed correctly, but my monitor driver. I store all my drivers in the $OEM$\$1\drivers folder which are placed within the filecd folder. My monitor, LG Flatron 915 FT Plus, has only 3 files and I placed the .inf files in a folder within the driver directory named 004_monitor. I don't understand what's going on? Can anyone here help me? Thx
  7. thx for the information that you provided. It worked just like you said, however, the control panel isn't installed and I am wondering, how do I get that to install? Thx
  8. I went to the site and download the drivers and place them in the folders like you said. However, it doesn't work and when windows boot up to the desktop, I get a error message saying driver and control panel isn't installed properly.
  9. All my other drivers installed correctly, but my monitor driver. I store all my drivers in the $OEM$\$1\drivers folder which are placed within the filecd folder.

Can anyone here help me? Thx
  10. Also does anyone know how to enable cleartype through the registry? Thx
  11. I understand that there is a issue with xpcreate and Q839643 and windows update will still display something to tell the individual that the update isn't installed, even though it is. However, is there an issue with Q831167 as well? Because windows update is also telling me that update is not installed, even though it is. Thx
  12. Is it possible to create a registry entry that will enable quick launch and with 4 icons being displayed with classic start menu, hide inactive icons unchecked, and uncheck personalize menu in the customize tab for classic start menu? Thx
  13. Sorry, but I'm kinda confuse in your description. Can you be a bit more specific? I extract the drivers and how does that command come into play?
  14. After downloading the newest xpcreate and I double click on xpcreate.cmd, I get the following error message: Error: "8.3 File name support not enabled." What is going on? Thx
  15. Another thing that I don't quite understand is that why does xpctest attempts to download all the updates when only some of them applies? For example, by checking the unattended forum and the hotfix list, it tells me to use only a fraction of the hotfixes that xpctest downloads. Why is that?
  16. Just curious, when starting up xpcreate.cmd, it says that I'm missing the boot file. By copying the xpctboot.bin file from a previous version of xpcreate that includes it and copy it to the boot folder of the xpctest, is it correct? Because it works once I copy it into there. Thx
  17. Hi, I was wondering if it's possible not to install some hotfixes? For example, I don't want to install the windows media hotfixes because I'm planning to use nLite to remove windows media player. How should I do this with xpcreate? Since xpcreate downloaded all of the hotfixes already, should I just remove all the ones that aren't needed and remove the url from the xpcreate.ini and double click on xpcreate.cmd to recreate the iso? Thx
  18. What do you mean by no winnt.sif? I thought I need that file if I want to do an unattended installation of drivers?
  19. I used xpcreate and follow instructions to create a brand new iso to install. I decided to test it by quickly burning it to a cd and then do a quick format for a install. It installed as normal, but then it'll freezes when it gets to the windows xp professional screen. There is no way to get through it and I'm locked out from accessing the desktop. What did I do with xpcreate that causes a bad installation? I know there are way too many possibilities, so maybe there are some obvious ones that I should be aware of? What do you guys think I should do to address this? Thx
