In the page you link, you did find drivers ("Drivers" tab) for your motherboard. If you choose XP 32bits as Operating System and download the SATA RAID/AHCI driver that is a 0,37MB exe file, you run the exe and it will extract a few files. One of them is named txtsetup.oem. I read the inf file and the txtsetup.oem should be in the same, folder, so copy that file along with the one named "ahcix86" in the x86 folder that is already created by the exe file.
When integrating drivers, point to ahcix86.inf in the x86 folder, nLite should ask you if you want to add it as text mode. -Yes.

I'd say you have to point to the TXTSETUP.OEM file that is created by the exe file (0,37MB) from the page you linked.
For all your other remarks, if you don't feel like I'm helping, it's ok. Oh, and Jaclaz, thanks for your time.

Well, at the time, nLite was intended for advanced users, with not to much info on how to use it. Only later SATA became the standard and lots of people got interested in using it to slipstream F6 drivers.
I did not say you needed to or would erase Vista on your other disk, but that install could have happened long ago and it was possible that it was not available anymore.
Anyway,as already said,
-only "F6" drivers need to be integrated as "text mode" drivers. Those are the drivers that allow your XP cd to list your SATA HDD disk and its partition for install, thus before Windows and its PnP detection kicks in. You'd most probably only need one of those.
-only drivers that you need have to be be integrated to your XP 32bit CD, thus not that ahcix64 which is causing you trouble.

Using the same motherboard, CPU, ram, power supply, Plextor DVD player / burner [ SATA ], and a DIFFERENT HDD [ ALSO a WD800 ], Vista installs with no problems.
From that I concluded that the Vista system was maybe not erased yet. Under that Vista OS, you could use something like HWinfo (there is a portable version, means you don't have to install anything) to find out what SATA controller you really have on that board.
For F6 drivers, you need to use the option "as text driver" or something like that on that screen. I'm not sure if we can see that in the ini file.

Few things (I did not go into deep analysis)
-your folder contains multiple Last_session files, which seems to indicate that you did run nLite more times on that set of files.
-use latest version of nLite this time, Yes, nLite was updated few months ago (good things happen).
-make sure your XP SP2 is an original Microsoft disk, not just "a disc that works"
-integrate only the drivers you need for your hardware, not all drivers you find on the Gygabite CD, only for XP and not drivers for X64 systems. Idem for "F6 drivers" (floppy method drivers).
-you might check that hardware from your running Vista system if still available.

Also this one; Open++ is portable. +I just tested 24 lines; OK.

On Firefox site, for fixing issues like FF being slow, they advise you to... upgrade to last version.
https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/products/firefox/fix-problems
Personally, as basic user of a browser, I haven't seen any major change in the 20+ major updates since FF 3.x.
There are also portable versions for you to test.

1) No problem. Upgrade disc will result in an upgrade disc.
2) You cannot integrate "everything that has been integrated in your running Windows" in the CD. The UDC gives you all the critical updates only. Those are tested (by the author of the script) to be integrable in an install CD. I think IE can also be integrated as such since the last version of nLite.

I'm afraid you're mislead on what nLite does. nLite modifies an existing Microsoft XP installation CD. nLite does not install Windows nor does it modify a running Windows, So of course nLite does not run without that CD or a copy of it because that is the whole point. nLite does not run the UDC batch script (that a forum user has written independently). nLite can process the outcome of the UDC script to integrate it in an installation disc.
If your installation disc is attended and simply you don't use unattended options, the result is attended. I even think that if your CD is unattended and you do use the unattended options to replace them with blanc fields, you end up with an attended like cd.

The site says that for XP, "All versions, editions and service packs are fully supported". Is your SP1a cd an original ? ANd the obvious... why don't you use your SP3 cd ...as it works?

He found what he was searching for in the nLite forum but didn't bother reporting it there!!!

It might be internal noise. Set the sound lower on the computer (in Windows) and compensate on the speakers and/or the headset if possible.

Well I was wrong, the left monitor is on VGA and the right side is on (HP) USB. And it seems only the left side is misbehaving.
Strange is that when I pull the plug, it does come back in the center, even if I close the application on the left monitor first, pull the plug and reopen it. The problem shows only when the computer is shut down then unplugged and restarted.

Hello,
do you know if there are monitors (not TV, due to taxes in my country)
Ain't the tax linked to the antenna/cable factor ? If not, there are indeed small media streamers for less than €100.

Unless this is a specially built SERVER, it was never designed to run 24x7.
Home PC's are built with Hobby Grade components specified for a minimal duty cycle of maybe 8 hours a day, followed by a shutdown.
I doubt the quality of the hardware components are in any way "reset" by a shutdown/reboot. It's a software problem, well known with Windows.

Thanks, I can see it but it doesn"t really solve my problem.
x="-1667" y="25" width="1615" height="802" isMaximized="no"
"RememberLastSession">yes<
I'l leave it like that. Or I could overwrite it with a default config when needed (with a positive value for x).
Also that screen is on a HP USB docking station that does have a driver, I'll see if it makes any difference on the one at the right which is plugged on VGA (but is "only"1280x1024)

I see this old post on their board but no answer. When Notepad++ is last open on an external screen, it keeps opening "on that screen" when the screen is not plugged in ...which is quite annoying as I have to guess it's virtually there. I can always fiddle with the Alt key and the arrows but I have to work blindly for a moment. Does anybody know of a fix for that ? I believe I have the last version (6.5.3 from last week) and Win7 (64bits). All other programs do come back to the one and only main screen when undocked.

the nLite list of 'Post SP3 Updates'. I have read this over and over [...] says that these Updates are part of Service Pack 3
What list, where ?
Updates that are part of Service Pack 3 are obviously not "post" SP3. I don't know where you saw this. If you have SP3 already integrated in your source, you'll only need post SP3 updates.The easiest way for you to get them is to use the script on this page.

If you search the nLite forum for SB700 you'll find a few threads and links but it's not clear whether the search is successful or not at the end. The nLite threads would most probably go about integrating the drivers to an XP disk but that's something else (though you might need to do it). User Fernado1 seems pessimistic and he's got more than thousand post helping people on similar subjects.
There are also 2 threads in the "Device drivers" forum. Good luck. Please add your info if you got clear answers on that.

Now it says indeed that the Zip file is damaged or incomplete. The funny thing is that Avant Browser, which basically, I thought was a UI layer using IE, is not showing that problem.

I was pointing the cheekiness of showing a 640x480 screenshot to show low memory usage, then show other numbers on a "usable" resolution. I wasn't intending to launch a debate on disk space usaqe (you've had it already and there is no debate).
+The AMD driver download for my HP is 485MB
and it doesn't even work correctly. The driver for the touchpad is 124MB (1/3 is .wmv files).0 -
light as hell!
But it took you 5 seconds to show you can't work with such a system; you had to change the ridiculous resolution right after the 1st screenshot.

No can do today.
Will do it tomorrow, possibly ~2 hours sooner than my previous reply.0 -
Whohoo, a music clip without booty shake... so 80s

Minimum info for help would be to state on which site you get those popups.
