NO I WON'T PIN IT You can't make me!!! MWahhhaahhhhhaha Lol OK, OK I give.

OK here are my pre-install findings: XP Gold iso size = 492 megs XP SP1a iso size = 507 megs XP SP2 iso size = 582 megs XP SP1a + SP2 iso size = 594 megs XP SP1a + SP2 + SP3 iso size = 624 megs XP SP3 iso size = 593 megs Total wasted space with all 3 packs? = 31 megs Total size gain from XP gold to SP3 = 101 megs Where are all the extra files coming from? Mostly drivers.

It accepts mine just fine.

It "should" be no problem. It won't hurt to try.

Yeah not much new in it but with all the fixes and optimizations in does run quite a bit faster.

Hell of a friend....

Very good!

WPI is typically run in full screen during the selection menu (but there are options in the menu to run it at smaller sizes.) and then the installer windows is a smaller runonceex style window (But it can be resized to what ever proportions your heart desires.) WPI handles reboots rather well, granted there have been a couple of occasions where it has bugged out but I am pretty sure we got all that worked out. WPI even has a built in %reboot% command which you can set a timer too.

You need to look into a 3rd party installer for all of your apps like xplode, wihu or WPI (all can be found on this forum) WPI's main site can be found in my sig. This way you have your os on one disk with a script to call for the install wrapper using yet another ap like cdswitch or just manually switching the cds at the right time. WPI is actually very simple to configure and has a very easy to customize interface (see the themes page) WPI and cdswitch are both free and open to use for corporate use, please remember to try to donate if your find them really usefull. Cdswitch --> http://www.msfn.org/board/Cd-switching-Uti...amp;hl=cdswitch You can also find a version of cdswitch in the WPI tools package that has a couple of WPI-ish themes with it. WPI Forum ----> http://www.msfn.org/board/Windows-Post-Ins...rd-WPI-f93.html WIHU ----> http://www.msfn.org/board/Windows-Installa...tility-f90.html (Might not be for corporate use I am not sure) XPlode ----> http://www.voidfx.com/FX/XPlode:Information (NOT free for commercial use)

Windows Picture and Fax Viewer (Shimgvw) <-- don't remove this as it has been known for a long time (in nLite at least) that the related service is needed for alot of graphics related programs and apps. So it just goes to follow that removing this will kill picasa and adobe.

VERY good point ponch.

Yannow I am getting ready for a reformatt let me see if their is a way to call the Rahpsody uninstaller silently... I will get back to you.. **** it uses randomly named reg entries for the location of the installer\uninstaller. Maybe someone else knows better than me. Sorry

Active kill disk most likely "Destroyed" your hidden recovery partition, which is all alot of those recovery cd's do is call the installation from that parttion. You'll need to aquire legit full media. I would call\Email HP customer service and ask them for a proper replacement media chances are they will sell you one for cheap... If not their is always ebay or amazon.com P.S. Active Kill Disk is like squashing an ant with a 16 pound sledge hammer It really is overkill. Unless you were trying to destroy sensitive government secrets you don't really need to use it. P.S. Welcome to MSFN!

HI!!! HUH? Please elaborate!

Beta 2 works fine for me...

Thats actually pretty easy you first find the tweaks in question and add them to the nlite.inf file or the runonceex box nlite provides during the making of the unnatended option section.

HAAHHAHAHHAH LMAO I get at least one a day too.

3 Years?? Thats pretty long actually!

Not enough storage??? I have NEVER seen this error before...

The old ones can be found at the website. Did you update IE? That might need to be done. How did you start WPI?

Here is lists of all of the MS products on these pages as for alternatives I can't help you except for the standard ones like Open Office, trillian all the standard replacements. http://www.microsoftvolumelicensing.com/us.../PLArchive.aspx

WHAT!?!?! LOL try google. We don't help with school projects here. Thats a lot of work you're asking for.

my cpl bonus one has a silent installer you can dl and just add to WPI...
