Oh, sorry for misunderstanding.

can you please elaborate this, as I am not good with virtual machines and virtual drives. You can consider me a newbie.

Would you please upload your lastsession.inf????????????? I am trying to trim my OS but but my aero theme is not working. Benjamin, please give me that inf.

I was also thinking to do so but we need another drive in the virtual machine to save the wim file, gimagex we can integrate in the winpe. Can it be possible to create two hard drives in virtual machine??????????

That is too much, I have already trimmed my OS to 1.4 gb with most of my required components. I wish to go below 1gb mark. I guess you must be talking about 64bit and I am talking about 32bit.

Thanks man but can you please tell how big is your OS, as I am trying to trim my OS to about 900 mb.

Thanks for your reply brother but I am using advanced option as I wish to keep my OS size as small as I can. But at the same time I also wish to keep some components like paint, wordpad, windows Media Player, Windows Photo Viewer, Windows disk image burner, etc. I managed to trim my OS to 935 mb but Aero theme and wifi problem still not solved. If you can share your lastsession.ini with me that would be great.

I am having one more problem in my trimmed OS. Apart from Aero theme my OS is not able to connect to my wifi router. I tried each and everything but problem still persists. When I see wireless Netowork connection status I see 412gbps in speed but there is not connection to my wifi router. I suppose some service is disabled, I don't know which one.

I have tried Advanced option once again and this time my themes are working but I got another problem, my OS is not showing previews of opened windows in the taks bar. I am not which component should I keep for previews, please guide me guys. Please see this screenshot.

From Ben, "...Documents and Settings error is a small coding mistake...actually its caused by timing level....I fixed this issue. Monday releasing a patch..." Patch not out yet. Thanks I am also waiting for the patch. But it has not released yet. I hope ben would release its patch soon.

Though I have not tried this but when I tried last time I got an error something related to "Document and setting". Is WAIK neccessary for RT 7 lite, I have tried it without WAIK. Was this error because of WAIK?????????????

Hey ben, I used Advanced option with some modification as I wanted to keep some of the components like windows search, paint etc. But when I install my OS Aero theme was not working infact none of the themes were working. I even tried to patch theme files and tried to apply some third party themes but I am unable to apply any theme. Can you please tell how to enable theme? I am again trying to use advanced option this time I have enable themes lets see how it goes.

To change this bmp go to install.wim>Windows>system32>shell32.dll and change 632 (ghost image) and 633 in bitmap.

Infact we can change winload.exe but we need to patch that file otherwise system will not boot at all. The only problem I am facing is "I am not getting the method how to patch winload.exe"

You are bang on target, go ahead and change the strings.

I don't mind playing with those files as well and I already did, I have already made an Acronis image of my C drive. But when I changed the text in winload.exe, booting failed and got an error something like "Digital Signature is not verified.......... bla bla bla" And as I have already mentioned it can be done with normal windows 7 as well but winload.exe need to be patched. And I want to lean that method only,

nice_guy75, is the attached what you are looking for? As you can see I opened it in XN Resource Editor, found here. I am not sure this is the best one for this job, but I have used it on my XP x64 system and created the attached screen shot on my W7 x64 under VM. If you double click the message text you want to change, then you can edit it. When I did these kinds of changes on XP, I had to run with System File Checker (SFC) turned off (also called WFP). Don't know yet how this works on W7. Please let us know what you learn. Enjoy, John. See brother, in windows 7 it is not possible like you did in XP as we have to patch winload.exe. I have already tried to edit winload.exe in windows 7 ultimate but booting failed and some error like "Digital signature is not verified". And also tried to change the text in winload.exe.mui but I don't see any Change. And I am looking for the method with the help of which I can patch winload.exe. Please help me someone.

I tried it on my OS and trimmed my OS size down to 889 MB using Advanced Option (ofcourse I uncheck some components) and guess what my trimming and installation was picture perfect. Thanks to ben.

Ok I have some idea how it can be done but the problem is that I dont have any idea how to patch winload.exe. Can anyone explaing how to patch winload.exe?

Great I am in very strange problem. When I am trying to install from Pen drive I am getting that cd/dvd drive device driver error but when I made an ISO and try to install via DVD it got installed properly without any error. Now please help me what might be the problem and what is the solution of this problem.

Mine is Acer Aspire 5570. And I even tried to use Driver DVD but same result.

No dear it can't be, as my OS is working fine after vlite but the problem only arises after RT 7 lite.

Are you using one of the European "N" Windows versions, or Enterprise? No, I am using Windows 7 Ultimate, already trimmed it to 1.56GB. I have removed these components:

I didn't even selected components from the Tasks. The one I am using is already trimmed with vlite and before applying RT7 lite on it the os was installing fine. This problem only appears after I used RT 7 Lite.

I prefer to install the OS and then install all the applications and then capture the install.wim. I believe this the easiest method availavble.
