Thats a nice link, thx. But i still want to know how to install winxp by default settings and removing all bloat by the official microsoft way using the components section. So can someone pls take a look at my config in the first post and analyze it ?

No, i dont have a virtual machine at the moment, i tried it with install from my harddisk but that didnt work. But i guess it doesnt work from harddisk install anyway from what i have read. So can you tell me something about my config, will it work ? Can I remove any options or do i have to add any ? help pls

Hi all, i want to make a minimum winxp pro install using unattended mode. That means i dont want to change anything and use all winxp defaults. The only thing i want to use is the [Components] section to exclude all the software there. So i created a file Winnt.sif and put it into i386 folder. Now i want the absolut minimum of options i need to put in that Winnt.sif file, so it just installs like normal but doesnt install all the options in the [Components] section. This is my first try, can you tell me if it is correct or if something is missing or if some options maybe arent needed that i typed. Please check it out and reply.
