Thanks for your reply, sorry, I had quite a hectic and buzy week. RESPECT, man.

I've seen this a few times. I think I solved it by either creating a new profile or booting into safe mode and run "chkdsk c: /r" (if the profiles are on C: drive)

I'd say this one: [unattended] ComputerType = Standard PC

have you tried without removing this ? ; #drivers# IBM Thinkpad

1) I think reinstalling over has the same result as the Presets folder is not deteted at uninstall if I remember. 2) Don't understand the question. 3) You can add files "on the cd" before the iso is made. The target directory being the root of the future cd, those are not copied during install unless they replace files that are normally copied during the install or they are in "OEM folders". 4) You can delete the ini files. Ifyou are talking about those in the target directory, there is also an option to not create them. +They are also saved to the nLite\presets\ directory on the HDD. 5) don't know.

After hours of skimming the help files, I managed to get my stick to boot DOS (Win9x) as well from the boot menu. I now have small and meaningless questions: 1) Does the tool make everything automatic but you still have to do it manually for a DOS option ? Or should I have put the files on the right place so that it would recognize I want the option activated ? (read "Or did I miss something") 2) The help file says Command.com should be in a \DOS directory but if only IO.sys and MSDOS.sys are in the root, it asks for location of the Command.com. (obviously solved by moving it to the root)--> is it something I forgot to do or an error in the help file (MULTI_CONTENT_Files.txt) ? Thanks.

Check menu Start/Settings/ControlPanel/AdministrativeTools/ComputerManagement/Storage/DiskManagement and tell us how and on what line ("Disk O"?) your E drive is described. Is the PC 2nd hand or installed by yourself ?

There was a special action in a shop not far this week, €4.99 for a 1Gig stick. (They were all gone in a few hours.) Irrelevant but just to say you haven't lost much money if that is of some interrest.

If your PCs were sold with an (OEM version) XP, you don't need to buy it a second time. B)

A shot in the dark, I might be totally wrong here, but maybe maybe... As OOBE allows you to create 5 users, maybe you are limited to 5 here to ??? Of course it doesn't explain the "new user" but it would explain the absence of a 6th user (ACQ). ??? ???? ?????

The post above is full of bad advise and false statement. BJMckay, ignore that post. Let's say your install is legit, and the key is not in use on an other machine anymore, you need the CD that was sold with it or equivallent, probably a Win XP Home retail CD. Service packs never made a difference, unless for dodgy keys.

I don't know what your problem is, but you are not alone (http://www.msfn.org/board/Hung-up-t110137.html&hl=agentsvr). I'd try integrating the pack with Ryan's Integrator and see if it makes any difference. For Nero and stuffs, check the "Applications Addons" sub-forum.

-are you starting with an ORIGINAL MICROSOFT set of files ? -is it ENGLISH ? -are you integrating ONLY RyanVM's pack ? -for all your other questions, a bit of search will get you further. -get a proper title for your thread, you'd think every post here is about "nLite problems"

Thanks people, I had one too, took me a few minutes only, but with the help of two "external" tools. But as I'm starting it from a USB stick, or a BartPE disk, it's not a problem as those are in the directory. FORFILES -pD:\DATA -m*. -c"deltree /y D:\DATA\@FILE\LocalS~1\Temp\*.*" FORFILES -pD:\DATA -m*. -c"deltree /y D:\DATA\@FILE\LocalS~1\Tempor~1\*." It does it.

First use "Add or remove Programs" in the Control Panel. Then there is "XPLite" to remove more stuff.

There is an "Install XP from USB" forum since a few weeks. I think there has to be ONE partition but there must be a workaround if you are not afraid to experiment.

You can use nLite to install this XP prof on a brand-new system, but you will still end up with a (modded?) UPGRADE disk. Means you'll still have to pop in an earlier version of MS Windows.

Excuse anonymous_user for not being clear enough, in fact he meant "yes". Maybe you need an explanation on what an iso is.... its a compressed file that contains a cdrom image. All the files can be extracted or burned to a cdrom.

The Win98 key wouldn't have helped much anyway.

There is a thread named "Install w98 on Large Drives (Above the 137Gb Barrier)", it seems to be exactly your issue.

FAQ.

If the file you downloaded is an ".ISO", you just need to burn "IMAGE TO CD" in Nero. You do NOT put the file on the CD, you use the special menu "burn image".

...and the one you install Windows from (CD DVD). You probably have a (5in1?) card reader that takes the first drive letters.

Switch your software from "burn CD" to "burn DVD" ?

If it's just two Megs you need, you can check keyboards you'll never use or "old" graphic cards drivers.
