Well ive been trying my darndest to get a xp sp3 with additional service packs slipstreamed. I havent removed any of the files to make it a "light version" of xp. I did have one success when i just installed xp home cd with the service pack 3 cd by themselves, and it worked, but what ever i did to get that working i havent a clue. Ok so here is my last session notpad file. This xp i has a write operation/ paging file quata etc...error and says its being dismounted just before its starts to install xp. Its really hard to read the full error code windows gives me cause it only displays for like a second and is rebooting. Note im using virtual box to test the iso image that i burned onto a cd. I havent yet tried to boot this into a real computer yet. LAST SESSION.INI
