As far as ai know, Windows XP Pro x64 was developed from the Windpws Server 2003 x64 Code Base.

If it helps you could think of all drivers sitting in between the os and hardware, if they weren't the middle person there would be no communication between the hardware and os and other software wouldnt exist or not be to a satisfactory standard. In this more specific example chipset drivers would virtually sit right in the middle of the hardware and OS, taking care of all of the communication making sure the communication is correct and accurate. Without these drivers the communication between hardware and OS would slow down, or in some caes be non-existent.

As everyone else has said you need the correct cd to go with your cd-key. But i dont think you have grasped the fact there is three sub-versions the two main versions of XP, Home and Pro. The three subversions are Retail, OEM and Volume(corp). These three subversions require seperate keys alone. Eg You could have a copy of Home and a Home Cd-key, the cd is a retail cd, and the key is an VOL key, that kind of combonation will not work. This is what i think Allanol and Tsunami was trying to tell you. EDIT: This may be of some help but bare in mind it, altering the setupp.ini violates the EULA

Got the same as you eagle, i just hate those [FRENCH WORDS] musical ringtones, especially when neds delibrately set them off or not turn their phones off in class. Thank [FRENCH WORDS] theres no neds in computing.

its most likely in Application Data>Identities>Microsoft or something along the lines of that

No But i thought i would try converting some small .avi's into .mpg's and then turn them into a dvd and NeroVision Express just wouldnt take it, said it couldnt import the files.

Every time i try to make a dvd out of an .avi file it will just not finish transcoding it. It will just sit at the same spot and not move. I know it hasnt crashed since the total time elapsed continues to count up. So if anyone can help me it will be a great help.

you could try CDIMAGE to decrease the size of your disc, since CDIMAGE will only write a file once and dynamicly link to duplicates. You will find it at the Unattened XP Install Site EDIT: Fixed the link

your welcome

Create a Bootable Win XP CD/DVD Just use that guide to creat a bootable cd (or iso), just ignore the bits about slipstreming sp2 into xp.

Dont double post.

how did you slipstream it? Did you use nLite or did you manually do it. If you manually did it try using nLite (the latest version) to do it and to create the .ISO image and then burn or test in VM Ware or Virtual PC. If that doesnt work either try using the unhacked files.

If the error comes up in txt mode try re slipstreaming SP2. If its after, during install then somethings happened causing NTFS.sys become corrupt. NOTE: Still to test my own Slipstremed SP2

For the reolution try using Video Resolution Changer which you will get at the bottome of this page. For the theme are you using a signed theme, if not do you have the hacked UXTHEME.DLL for SP2 RTM (whic is here) and for the computer name i havent a clue what could be wrong. Hope this helps. EDIT: Looks like i forgot about the programs, oh well i didnt know anyway

Well i was missing some files in the root of the disk (CDROM_IP.5 and CDROM_NT.5), and the pc it was to be installed on had a loose IDE cable for floppy. Thanks for your help.
