Gurgelmeyer, thanks for all the hard work. I finally made it through all 54 pages of this thread. My son just destroyed his operating system by attempting to put a picture on the computer he had added to a floppy. Sadly, he put the picture on an old Gateway MS-Dos 6.0 install disk and left it in the drive when he rebooted. He then proceeded to let it boot and somehow hit the enter key grrrrrrrrr. So I'm faced with reinstalling 2000. After much reading I was led here. I have used nlite for quite awhile now but am always frustrated by the massive amounts of additional fixes that have to be installed and for some reason with the new WGA I have trouble downloading auto updates. I have a current unattended slipstreamed sp4 and added the usp5 last night. After completeing I restarted nlite and attempted to create another slipstream of a couple additionl hotfixes but got a message that said "you already have slipstreamed hotfixes and you will need to remove them first if you want to continue" Not sure why this is happening as it never has happened before. While I would like to wait for your full rollout that includes 2000 updates, ie6, dx9.0c, .net, etc. I don't have that luxury as the machine is needed for school work. Here's what I would like to do and am still not perfectly clear on the proper way to go about it. 1. I want to update xp4 to xp5 slipstreaming through nlite unattended, if possible I'd like to add the other things above to that slipstreamed cd without using cmd line as I don't even know what cmd line is. For those things that can't currently be slipstreamed detailed info. on how and when they should be added. 2. I have seen the additional files you have to download but once downloaded I don't know how to integrate them. Do I simply copy them to a file on the nes xp5 computer and double click on them? I guess what I'm asking is if you would be kind enough to tell me step by step the order in which and the way in which I should install this new OS with all of the above using nlite as much as I can. I'm guessing my first step is to take my unattended sp4 and slipstream to usp5 and then........ Thanks in advance
