I am surprised that no one has said it yet but here we go.... First on your friends computer, download nLite.. Install it... Use this program to alanize your XP cd to see what version it is... if it isn't SP2 then use the program to make a slipstreamed copy... BTW it also will help you make your new cd bootable. Any issues message me...

I like your thinking, but that was not the scope of my problem... I just want a USB HDD to act like a USB flash key. IE no sytem restore (ever, even after reboot).

Thank you quinriva for the guidance...

Anyone?????

What do you have for hardware.... Did you install any virtual drive emulators??? Deamon Tools..... Please let us know so we can help you.... PS... Please read the Intro about posting with a TOPIC HEADER...

Is there a way to make a USB HDD act like its smaller cousin the USB memory stick (flash stick). I have left USB thumb drives connected for day on end, restarted numerous times, yet windows never grabs the drive for system restore. On some systems my USB HDD, it takes a reboot before windows grabs it, on others it does this imidiatly... that prosses take about 4 GB on my USB 40GB one, and 8.9GB of my 80GB one.... I have had to resort to permanatly turning off system restore on my system, but i am looking for a solution that i can put on my drive so i don't have to configure everyone elses machine... Please Help.... -------------------------------------- 5 Mar 06 Does anyone have anything???

maybe try re-download and reinstall... if keep failing, i'll send you my vd 9.....

Re-check your edited files... setupldr.bin..... txtsetup.sif

check all of the parts you needed to edit.... Setupldr.bin... txtsetup.sif...

So, you want a remote desktop for your "home" to "work"??? Am i understanding you correctly??? Is for setup a VPN connections so you are on the "work" network, then use remote desktop... that is what i do....

I have virtual drive also.... what do you mean you can't use them???

to make you unatend easier, make a script to look fo a marker file on the drive, so that when it finds the drive that has that file.... it uses that drive letter....

Have you tried useing the 2003 server admin pack for xp??? Your can get a slew of tools.... i use the "remote desktop connections" all the time to manage my 60+ machines.... no one has to be logged in , and if they are i can choose to kick them off...

I am trying to make a script that will look for specific programs on the computer; then say if it passes by verifying the programs it finds againt a list. I try but i am getting nowhere.... I am useing scriptomatic 2 from Microsoft. I hope this is in the right section....

what version of cd shell are you using....

You can use nlite to auto set your "user" profile to "install" anywhere.... i.e. you allways more it to "d:\" right?? When XP installs, it will set the directory to be "CREATED" where you say.... no more moving....

Make an ISO and test using Virtual PC or VMware

\\HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\MICROSOFT\WINDOWS NT\CURRENTVERSION

I must be dumb... i don't get it.... How do i convert what shows in the spy window to a script?? Please help.

1) 2600+ w/ 512KB L2 Cache running at 1.917 GHz. 2) 2600+ w/ 256KB L2 Cache running at 2.083 GHz. Which is better.... I can't find any comparison docs, other that which is beeter by l2 cashe or cpu speed but not both. I don't have any bechmarck testing software to check them out so, any help would be great...

Not trying to be rude by pointing out the obvious, but.... The autoactiveate=yes will ATTEMPT to run if it finds an active connection. If no active connection.... it obviously wont run..... P.S. are you sure you are running the same version that the customer has... i.e. Retail/oem/VLK

Don't know if it will help, but.... Try "035".... In the ref.chm it shows all zones to be 3 char long.... hope this works....

Just curious but how and why did you put the XP CD Key on its own page like that???

My dumb A$$ forgot to click save..... sorry

OK I guess I need to clarify why I started this post. Windows PE only gives me a command prompt. Barts is too complicated to configure for what I want. I want a "Windows" shell so I can copy files graphically. Barts will not let me see my AIO-DVD... only the bartspe side. This is why I want help on Windows PE... if you are going to post an answer.... I suggest you read the CREATOR'S statements.
