Ah ok, I suspected it might have something to do with that. The only other one I see w/ SP1 integrated already (02-28-2008) has all the versions in it. All I want is Ultimate. vLite can remove the other versions right?

I've downloaded Vista Ultimate w/SP1 from my TechNet account. It's this one:
Windows Vista Ultimate with Service Pack 1 Checked/Debug Build (x64) - DVD (English)
en_windows_vista_ultimate_with_service_pack_1_checked_build_x64_dvd_71940.iso
from 03-07-2008
The file size is 3,330.93MB.
After extracting this ISO's files (using UltraISO) to a folder, I started up vLite 1.2 final. I pointed it to the folder where I extracted the ISO's files. vLite then gives me this message:
"
vLite supports Windows Vista from the versions 6.0.6000.16386 (RTM).
Version detected: 0.0.0.0.
You can continue at your own risk or if you just want to make / burn bootable ISO.
"
Also, under the status indicator on vLite's front page, it shows this when I point it to the folder where I extracted the ISO's files:
Operating system: Windows Longhorn Client
Description: Windows Longhorn Client (6001.18000.amd64chk.longhorn_rtm.080118-1840) EDITIONS:BUSINESS,HOMEBASIC,HOMEBASICN,HOMEPREMIUM,HOMEPREMIUMN,STARTER,ULTIMATE,ULTIMATEN,ENTERPRIS
E,ENTERPRISEN
Architecture: 64-bit
Version: 0.0.0.0
What's going on here? Why does vLite not recognize Vista Ultimate w/ SP1 in it already from TechNet?

Tried that already.

Ok, I've never gotten this to work. If anyone can make a version of this clean boot CD that works with any SATA optical drive, I'll pay you.

Is vLite fully compatible / does it work with the ISO of Vista that has SP1 in it already? I have access to this image (as do most of you I'm guessing) as a Technet subscriber. I'd like to use vLite with this ISO so I can remove things I don't need.

Is nLite fully compatible / does it work with the ISO of XP that has SP3 in it already? I have access to this image (as do most of you I'm guessing) as a Technet subscriber. I'd like to use nLite with this ISO so I can remove things I don't need.

Thanks again Glen. Yes, I want the query to list all the cities from the three city columns in the three different tables. I only want the cities thought that start with the letter A, B or C. I'm new to SQL though. How do I use a SubString or Between?
This is what I've tried:
When I have the
WHERE city LIKE '[A-C]%'
on just the last SELECT:
SELECT city "City"
FROM employee
UNION
SELECT city "City"
FROM customer
UNION
SELECT city "CITY"
FROM contact
WHERE city LIKE '[A-C]%'
ORDER BY city;
I get this list of cities:

123 rows in set (0.00 sec)Those are all the cities in the "city" column in all three tables. Some of these cities are in three of the tables, some in two of the tables and some in only one table. The Unions seem to be filtering them correctly since it shows all of the cities only once. However, when I put the
WHERE city LIKE '[A-C]%'
in the last SELECT and the second SELECT:
SELECT city "City"
FROM employee
UNION
SELECT city "City"
FROM customer
WHERE city LIKE '[A-C]%'
UNION
SELECT city "CITY"
FROM contact
WHERE city LIKE '[A-C]%'
ORDER BY city;
it lists only these cities:

25 rows in set (0.00 sec)Finally, when I put the
WHERE city LIKE '[A-C]%'
in all three of the SELECTs:
SELECT city "City"
FROM employee
WHERE city LIKE '[A-C]%'
UNION
SELECT city "City"
FROM customer
WHERE city LIKE '[A-C]%'
UNION
SELECT city "CITY"
FROM contact
WHERE city LIKE '[A-C]%'
ORDER BY city;
I get:
Empty set

So I need to put: WHERE city LIKE '[A-C]%'
in all three like this?
SELECT city "City"
FROM employee
WHERE city LIKE '[A-C]%'
UNION
SELECT city "City"
FROM customer
WHERE city LIKE '[A-C]%'
UNION
SELECT city "CITY"
FROM contact
WHERE city LIKE '[A-C]%'
ORDER BY city;
---------------------------------
Scratch that. Just tried the above and am getting an "Empty Set".
Anyone have more suggestions?

I have a simple SQL query that won't work. Well it seems to work, except for the part where I want only cities that begin with the letters A, B, or C to be shown.
Here's my query:
SELECT city "City"
FROM employee
UNION
SELECT city "City"
FROM customer
UNION
SELECT city "CITY"
FROM contact
WHERE city LIKE '[A-C]%'
ORDER BY city;
Basically, all three tables (employee, customer, and contact) have a field / column named "city". I want the query to show me all of the cities from the three tables (with no city repeated) that begin with the letters A, B, or C.
I think it's showing me all the cities, but it's not filtering them out. It's showing me ALL the cities. I just want the ones that start with A, B, or C.

Is there any way to change the width of the sidebar? I'm running Vista Ultimate x64. Reason I want to change the width is that the Everest sidebar gadget is kind of cramped. If I make the font larger for items in the Everest sidebar gadget, items wrap to the line beneath and it begins to look cluttered. If the sidebar is resizable (width-wise), would the gadgets take advantage of that extra width and automatically space / resize themselves too?

I tried making a macro:

I'm using Outlook 2007 and would like a custom button that will do these to whatever email is selected:
- Mark the mail as read.
- Move the mail to a specific folder.
Can someone please help me with this? I've searched and can't find how to make such a button.

Right now there are only two files on the "Clean Boot CD" when I open it in explorer:
BOOTCAT.BIN
BOOTIMG.BIN
I tried extracting the contents of both files and only BOOTIMG.BIN will extract. These files are in BOOTIMG.BIN:
attrib.exe
chkdsk.ex
debug.exe
deltree.exe
ext.exe
extract.exe
fdisk.exe
findramd.exe
hibinv.exe
label.exe
mem.exe
move.exe
mscdex.exe
scandisk.exe
scanreg.exe
xcopy32.exe
xcopy.exe
scandisk.ini
xcopy32.mod
command.com
edit.com
format.com
mode.com
sys.com
autoexec.bat
fixit.bat
help.bat
cd1.sys
cd2.sys
cd3.sys
cd4.sys
config.sys
country.cs
display.sys
flashpt.sys
himem.sys
io.sys
msdos.sys
readme.txt
--------------------
When I open config.sys in notepad, this is what's in it:
rem DEVICE=HIMEM.SYS /testmem:off
FILES=30
BUFFERS=20
DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato /P:1f0,14
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato /P:170,15
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato /P:170,10
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato /P:1e8,12
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato /P:1e8,11
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato /P:168,10
rem DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato /P:168,9
LASTDRIVE=Z
---------------
So I would just replace:
DEVICE=cd1.SYS /D:tomato
with:
DEVICE=GCDROM.SYS /D:tomato
?
I'm guessing I add the GCDROM.SYS to the same directory all of these files are in. Once I add GCDROM.SYS though, how do I pack them all back up into that single BOOTIMG.BIN file? Also, do I need to delete the cd1-4.sys files?

I found the driver I need to add to that "Clean Boot CD": http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#clean
It's GCDROM.sys
http://marktsai0316.googlepages.com/gcdromfordos
How do I add GCDROM.sys to that "Clean Boot CD" I linked to ( http://marktsai0316.googlepages.com/gcdromfordos )?

I've been using this "clean boot CD" for awhile now to do my BIOS updates:
http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/#clean
Recently, I switched to a SATA optical drive and now whenever I boot with this CD it says that it can't find any optical drive. Is there any way to get it to work with SATA optical drives? If not is there any way to make a "clean boot USB flash drive" that works exactly like this clean boot CD except for it being a USB flash drive instead of a CD?

I've tried all that already and it doesn't fix the missing WinRAR context menus.

Unfortunately, I didn't create a restore point before messing around in the registry.

I was looking through my registry today to find a way to get WinRAR's context menu items back since they had suddenly disappeared. When looking through the registry, I accidentally deleted something and am not sure what it was. Anyway, after accidentally deleting the registry key(s), every folder I open, opens in a new, separate window. I've gone into:
Control Panel
- Folder Options
and clicked on "Open each folder in the same window", apply then OK then restarted my PC, but it doesn't work. I set it back to "Open each folder in its own window" and restarted then once Windows was started up, changed it back to "Open each folder in the same window" then finally restarted again.
Nothing works. Folders keep opening in their own windows. Anyone know how to fix this? I want it back so that when I open a folder inside another folder it opens in the same window instead of opening a new window.

I finally figured out why it wasn't working. Apparently, you have to put something in the "Full Name" field opposite of the "Skip user creation" check box. If you leave the "Full Name" field blank, you won't get just the "GOD account".

Ok, got the ISO working. Problem now is that after creating and deleting virtual hard drives a couple of times, Vista is asking me to reactivate. Is that normal? I haven't made any real hardware changes in the last six months. I have been playing with virtual optical and hard drives though.

Thanks razormoon. I don't even know how to use that code you posted above. I'll just wait for the next vLite release and hope it starts working for me again.
0 -
Yes, all I want to do is make the changes I listed in post #16 AND have ONLY the GOD Account when Vista is installed. As I said earlier I have already done this with an earlier version of vLite. I want to do it again and make some additional changes, but when I choose to skip user creation with this latest version of vLite, Vista setup still makes me create an account (the GOD account is not the only account like I wanted it).

I installed Virtual PC 2007 on my Vista Ultimate x64 machine. I'm now trying to install XP SP2 as a guest in VPC. I made an ISO of my XP CD using UltraISO. When at the part where it asks:
"Reboot and Select proper Boot device or Insert Boot Media in selected Boot device"
I go to the CD menu and choose "Capture ISO Image...", then I choose my XP ISO file. After that it just sits there showing the client mac address and "dhcp" with a backslash spinning around.
I've tried resetting as well after choosing "Capture ISO Image...", but that still doesn't work. Do I need to have a virtual drive program like daemon tools as well?

Vista x64 SP2 Slipstream
in vLite
Posted
I downloaded the Vista Ultimate x64 w/ SP2 ISO from my Technet account. Is the current version of vLite fully compatible / usable w/ this ISO?
