Ntupgrade and Hibernation is no secret: NtUpgrade: Specifies whether Setup upgrades a previous version of Windows NT 3.51, Windows NT 4.0, Windows 2000, Windows XP, or the Windows Server 2003 family Hibernation: Specifies whether to enable the hibernation option in the Power Options control panel. You can find lots of other useful options in the ref.chm file (in deploy.cab) should you want to use them

I don't know where you read that. I can't really help you if you read instructions from another site that I don't know of.

Not for All Users, no. Only your current logged in User. (RunOnceEx on first logon, that is)

iF win51ip.SP1 and sp1.cab exists on the CD you copied from, it has Service Pack 1 slipstreamed.

Why are you creating, then extracting the ISO to the hard disk as files? You're practically going back to square one doing that. If you use Nero, simply go to File > Burn Image, and select the iso file.

Yeah, quite a few peeps are reporting that in the Microsoft Newsgroups, no definite answer yet!

Is this the error? "Due to an unidentified problem, Windows cannot display Windows Firewall settings"

Close the Search panel, then go to Folder Options > View and click on Apply to All Folders. See if that fixes it.

Its the Blaster exploit, but doesn't necessarily mean you're infected. Its a unwanted side effect of an intrusion into the RPC service. Still, you should run an AV scan just to be sure. Patch up at WindowsUpdate!

Its this: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/hacked_files.htm

It works the same way for Windows XP: http://unattended.msfn.org/xp/autologon.htm

And about time we did too! Unattended Windows is the most active forum on MSFN so we decided to give it its own section so that it doesn't get packed with sub forums. Member Contributed Projects has also been moved from The Developers Center to Unattended Windows Discussion & Support so members don't have trouble finding XPCREATE or XPlode. Forum links remain unaffected

Have you checked to see if Adobe Acrobat 6 works on RC1 when installing manually? MS have said its likely that RC1 will break existing applications, which is why they made it a public release to get a lot of feedback.

I like what you did for Tip. 7 with the CDR.exe tool

The batch files are meant to be run beforehand on your Windows XP source before burning to CD.

You do need them there because using the reducing size of source method doesn't put them there in the first place.

Files such as win51ip.SP2, WIN51IP and so on.

.NET Framework doesn't install with an original Windows XP SP2 disc either. Its an optional component.

Can't give any specifics as it was done on a Virtual PC. It should be pretty much the same as a Windows XP SP1 installation though.

All of it can be deleted. See: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...16718&st=10&hl=

Nope

Its gone down to 387MB with BOOTFIX.bin and the CDident files.

Simply deleted them. Using Reducing size of source should bring it down to a further 20-30 MB. Might give this a go too.

Works fine for me

The error messages you got would help...
