Win7toolkit and the McRip updates. That's about the only up-to-date list/download I've seen.

No reason to hate the software, just post in the correct forum. You'll get the attention of jdobbs (the developer) much quicker here, http://forum.doom9.org/forumdisplay.php?f=75 edit: Oops, completely overlooked that you're trying to do an unattended install. That's what I get for bouncing back and forth between three forums at the same time. At any rate, you may pass it by jdobbs to see if he has any insight into switches, etc...

I don't have an OEM gold disc, but do have a gold VLA, which should be good, less the OEMBIOS files.

Bump. Anyone?

Hello all! I've recently started having problems with the component removal section when, if anything is selected for removal, GUI setup stops with the error: Setup failed to install the product catalogs. This is a fatal error. Error code is 426. The signature of Windows XP SP1 Professional is invalid. The error code is 800b0100 I normally run my source through nLite after slipstreaming all hotfixes and other things through HFSLIP. The HFSLIP'd disc works perfectly, but once I hit it with nLite and select any components for removal, it crashes during setup. I've tried taking a clean XP SP2 source and integrating all hotfixes with nLite and I still get the same error. Attached are my HFSLIP and nLite logs. I'd appreciate any help.

Bump for the same reasons as stated above.

Silent .Net Maker While not a solution to slipstream .Net, it will make the most updated packaged installers you can find. I'm using this with HFSLIP.

FYI: I've had very good luck with Ryan's all-in-one placed in "HFSVCPACK". It installs all three flavors of .Net, fully patched.

Yes, use the Textmode drivers for the F6 stage. Specifically, drivers like SATA or RAID, SCSI, etc...

There's a newer version of the kernel, 3051 in 929338 vs. 3023 in 896256. I can't speak as to WindowsXP-KB916199-v2-x86. Since I have a CoreDuo, I may give that one a whirl. Just as a note, I tried a new build with both 929338 and 896256 in HF and it seems that 896256 won. Doing a windows update showed 929338 as a download.

Yes, it does.

Tomcat, Cool, I thought there must have been something that HFSLIP would leave behind, like the .cmd in SVCPACK. I didn't want to mess anything up, so I left it. I'll slipstream with the attached file. I realize I could use some of the available tools or do it manually, but I tend to lean towards HFSLIP or anything related in this forum. Thanks guys!

For the sake of cleanliness, I've recopied my XP gold disc into "SOURCE" and put only the Admin install of SP2 in "HF". All worked good as expected, but when I run HFSLIP again, with all post-sp2 fixes (sp2 removed from HF, of course), it warns of the source having been patched prior to the run. Is there any harm in this and can I remove something to get rid of that warning? Thanks all!

A bit of FYI: Mine worked by simply using the i386 folder from the CD as my \SOURCE\I386 folder. No copying winnt.sif to the FIX folder, no messing around with the product key. If the product key is in winnt.sif on your CD in i386, there's no need to do anything else. You will have problems if oembios.* are missing.

I've tested HFSLIP with a Dell XP SP2 CD and the pre-activation works like it should. No messing around with the product key and the OEMBIOS.* files are there. Works like a charm.

I'm kinda confused about what you're asking, so let me ask 1. You have a case that has both 5.25 and 3.5 slots, correct? 2. One of the 3.5 bays will be used for your fan controller / temp reader. 3. Are you wanting to use the 5.25 bays for the hard drives? An easy way is to tell us how many 5.25 bays you have and how many 3.5 bays. If you're wanting to mount 3.5" hard drives in the 5.25" bays without the use of removable racks, you can get cheapie metal adapters for that purpose. You'd retain the blanking plates on the 5.25" slots. The adapters I'm referring to were generally for mounting a floppy in a 5.25" bay. Of course, there's always something like these products: Athena Products @ Newegg Specifically, this: 5x SATA hard drive bay 4x SATA hard drive bay 3x SATA hard drive bay

I've been holding off on purchasing any form of NAS because of the need for drivers or not being compatible with Mac OS, etc... I wanted something truly easy and found it in the Buffalo Linkstation Pro. It has one Gigabit Ethernet port, jumbo frames (9K) supported, two USB 2.0 host ports for plugging in other drives and chaining them from the Linkstation. It has provisions to backup the internal hard drive to another Linkstation on the network or to a drive connected to one of the two USB ports. It's small, very quiet, has a SATA drive, good looking. There's some good info at linkstationwiki.net if you're interested. BTW, I got mine for $249 after rebate from Fry's. Happened to walk in at the right time... edit: Shoot, almost forgot the best part. It's running some flavor of Linux and is using the XFS file system. No need to worry about huge file sizes, OS compatability, blah blah blah... You get the idea. Built-in FTP server, user and group management, scheduled backups. Jeez, there's really too much to list about this little gem. I love it!

Yes. I've been doing that one for quite a while now. Possibly since the May time frame...

Works for XP as well...

I searched the thread and couldn't find this listed, so here ya go. Manufacturer: Acer, inc. Model: TravelMate 8200 41636572 2C20696E 632E

Darned near every consumer level router is NAT based. NAT is generally thrown around as being a firewall technology, but it's just a way of using private, non-routable, addresses internally that are mapped to a single puiblic address. Go a step further and get a hardware router/firewall with SPI (Stateful Packet Inspection). It checks all the packets to see if they're, essentially, "legit". The big question isn't whether everyone really needs a software firewall on your machine, it's whether you're installing software that would hit the Internet without your knowledge. A hardware firewall will never tell you about the traffic that originates from your PC...it could care less as the internal network is trusted. It's job is to keep the bad guys on the outside from coming inside...your locked front door, so to speak.

Lossless: FLAC is my choice mainly becuase the dev is a regular on Hydrogenaudio.org. FLAC, Wavepack, Monkey's Audio, etc... are all very close in terms of compression ratio. Encoding and decoding speed are where the differences lie. Lossy: OGG has the advantage at 128kbps. Anything higher and you start to run into problems of testers not being able to ABX any of them. Want portability with compatability? mp3 (LAME) Want the ability to re-create your CD's bit-wise? Lossless...pick your flavor.

Small correction, it's actually "setup.exe /P I".

There's a few different ways to accomplish this with a new install: 1. nLite 2. Ryan's pack with the integrator or via nLite 3. HFSLIP (Love this) From somewhere here on the forums, I downloaded an autorun.ini and a kixtart script that will install all updates from the root of the CD. I have not tried the script though... Oh, another method for checking to see what updates your machine already has vs. what Microsoft has available is Elcom's PSA: http://www.elcomsoft.com/psa.html Very cool tool. KixXPUpd.zip
