Thanks for the link I knew it for years ... I just said that the paramaters of the MSIEXEC did not work anymore with the SP2 ... in case the last operation ! Sincerely Vincety

Hye, The switch for the splitstreaming of the SP1 worked perfectly, but now will do the same for the SP2, but the last command line for the msiexec did not work ... could someone help me : The original command is : C:\Download>msiexec /p c:\Download\SP2\MAINSP2ff.msp /a c:\Download\Microsoft Office\PRO11.msi SHORTFILENAMES=TRUE /qb And this one did not work any more with the SP2 .... Sincerely Vincety

Hye everyone, I'm trying to build an hided partition to install / recover a previous windows XP installation. The idea is to install windows XP with all drivers and softwares, and when all is OK, make a System Image with driveImage or Ghost (Partition to File). I wanna copy this image on an hided partition on the same HDD as windows XP install (of course an other logical partition) so that under windows XP the RECOVERY partition will not be displayed, but could be accesed to re-install / recover ... I just tried Ghost, but this one could not save the image file on the hided partition, and without the DOS Ghost CD it's impossible to deploy the created image. So the perfect solution for me should be a software whitch could build an drive image on a hided partition, whitch could be accesed under DOS if I need to re-nstall / recover my previous windows XP installation .... IS IT POSSIBLE ??? Thanks P.S. Sorry for my english
