  1. For repairing needs i use a XPCD with no Unattended Settings in it.

    I prepare my XPCD with SP3 and Updates (nLite), then just burn the ISO.

    So every option (Repair, etc.) is still available. There is NO "winnt.sif" on that XPCD.

  2. 1. Add a third, single drive (IDE, if possible). Leave the new RAID connected.

    2. Restore your image to that single drive and boot. Install the new driver (RAID will be recognized).

    3. Backup again the modified system again (don`t overwrite your first backup).

    4. Disconnect the single drive and restore the newer image to your RAID and and boot.

    5. Keep fingers crossed...

  3. I think most of the tweaks are in nLite.inf, compressed into NLITE.IN_ in the I386 or AMD64 folder. Enjoy, John.

    johnhc is right, but there are a lot of .inf-files that are tweaked by nLite.

    If you open e.g. "dosnet.inf" you`ll see a line added by nLite, so it was modified too.

  4. Its that easy...if you have any more questions, please leave a comment and I will get back to you asap.

    I don`t think he will do - after 38 months he should have fixed it... :whistle:

    But thanks for your solution, it will help anybody anyway. ;)

  5. Hi John!

    You should copy all files/folders from your CD into a new (empty) folder and then point nLite to that folder. NLite will do the copy for you and...

    Not really.

    You create an empty folder (not C: , better: D:\XPCD ) and insert your untouched XP-CD in your CD-ROM.

    Then start nLite and let it do the copy by pointing nLite first to the CD-ROM, then (for copying) to your created folder.

    Don`t copy the files manually, you may run into trouble (hidden files, read-only files).

  6. I need some explaination on that:

    ;Kommentaren nedenfor indeholder SFX kommandoer

    Path=C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Temp\
    SavePath
    Setup=Setup.exe --mode=Silent --deploymentFile="C:\Users\Default\AppData\Local\Temp\install.xml"
    Silent=1
    Overwrite=1

    What are you trying to do with this comments?

    To extract the setup temporarly you just need to set "Temp Mode".

    The SFX extracts itself to TEMP, closes, setup is started from TEMP.

    What about "repack,exe" - I don`t understand that, what is it good for?

  7. Of cource it is possible to modify your "fresh source" - but what is the goal?

    I tried to integrate Updatepacks and drivers and use this as source

    for further operations with nLite, even to integrate more updates

    and other drivers. I ran into some unexpected errors.

    You only higher the risk of getting errors, there`s no reason to do so

    if you are running your favorite "Last Session.ini" again.
