Yes that is correct you can add drivers, applications edit auttounattend.xml e.c.t for total unattended install

There is a small tool quite old called SFX Tool http://mulder.dummwiedeutsch.de/home/?page=projects#sfxtool that will allow you to repack folders just wish the author had kept it going.Yea i would also like if iuli_kyle could incorporate some of the features as in sfx tool.

The Winnt.sif file is not stored on root of cd/dvd it is stored in i386 folder

PsiMoon314 is wrong packard bell can be activated with correct disk you need oem bios files for packard bell, here are a few links to look through. http://www.msfn.org/board/OEMScan-Automate...amp;hl=oem+bios http://www.msfn.org/board/Building-a-Pre-a...amp;hl=oem+bios http://forums.mydigitallife.info/index.php http://keznews.com/forum/viewtopic.php?t=7008 this says for vista but lets you know how SLP works. have a look here for more info http://forums.mydigitallife.info/forumdisplay.php?f=5, P.S. you will have info in bios i,e, SLP string you are just using wrong disk

you need to enable long files name support in registry http://www.windowsreference.com/windows-xp...le-name-format/ http://www.windowsnetworking.com/nt/registry/rtips116.shtml

Thanks

you would be far easier getting acronis trueimage and backing up partition to dvd or second hard drive and recovering all the space the the dell partiitions use.

Thanks I read it, it was posted on notebookreview.com. I was talking about unattended. @urie Are you sure about both key placement and certificate placement. has any one tested on hp? I know people say it works on dell. tipu, it works on all OEM manufacturers i,e dell asus hp acer e.c.t

Yes MSDN vista sp1 image should do or vista rtm P.S. you can use ultraiso to open iso and add $OEM$\$$\SYSTEM32\OEM folder to SOURCES folder along with your your PID.TXT file

Found this on MS Technet forums Don't Slipstream it in Vista.

Mount and Export the images you want to a new .wim. I get Ultimate out of the rest All 1 line D:\VistaUA\Tools\x86\imagex /export /check /compress maximum D:\VistaUA\uaDVD\sources\install.wim 4 D:\VistaUA\uaDVD\sources\installnew.wim Then delete original install.wim and rename installnew.wim to install.wim Good reply Maxx, i thought these forums were about learning how to do unattended installs i,e, information learn the basics first not to push every one to nlite or vlite .

did you also get dell vista OEM even though it came preinstalled is so you shouls have used the key from the PID.txt file id sources folder or used a kefinder to get your key from the machine that way you wouldnt have to activate online which happens when you use the key from the Certificate of Authenticity at the bottom of the laptop.

Hello NOT WORKED NCAB FOR Nero Ultra Edition 6.6.1.15c PLease Fix Nero ASK Toolbar and Nero The Weather Channel Desktop Easy Answer download version without toolbar they were available at the time but i don't know if they are now.

yes installwatch is one of the better programs just a shame the developers didn't take it further, i use it myselfe. not fully compatible with Vista well the one you download

Yep you are correct what is wrong with the autoit scripts posted before, instead of noobs trying to unpack nero edit MSI file and then repack it. in fact better going back to nero 6 and using Ncab_211 i,e 25MB

you would be better off using CMenu or SendToA3X by MHz links below. http://mywebsite.bigpond.com/michaelpheath/cmenu/ http://mywebsite.bigpond.com/michaelpheath/sendtoa3x/

On the Foxit download page you can also download msi installer version

InstallWatch from epsilon squared is very good you can export before and after install registry files. http://www.epsilonsquared.com/

Urie, MaxXP Mod P.S. your link didn't work anyway

download cMenu by MHz his web page sems to be down at the moment so here is another download link posted on these forums. http://www.4shared.com/file/24098929/6b0f0a2c/CMenu_v26.html

I can't find the temp map where nero extracts his files too. Can someone tell me where this is so i can put the extracted files on dvd so the installation will take less time. Nero folder is extracted to: C:\Documents and Settings\**Your Name**\Local Settings\Temp

You need to edit the msi file with orca look at images below, this is for Hallmark card studio for example

icelander, remove your vista key from your post

I found the MERGETASKS="!isodrive" switch on EZB forums in UltraIso thread a while back. http://forum.ezbsystems.net/cgi-bin/ikonboard.cgi also you dont really need reg file either you can use uikey.ini some Notes below,
