Do you check the green light for "create Bootable ISO" at the beginning ? Does it stop before the end to ask for the ISO name ? If yes, recheck that screen's options. Do you have enough space to create the ISO on the destination drive ? Any error message ?

Are you just making the ISO with nLite or going trough the whole nLite process ?

For the files that cannot be copied, it can be a bad media or a fault in the ISO making process. For the invalid key, did that key work with your source files before nLiting ? Probably not. The key and the type of XP source are linked. For the RAID setup, you'll need to slipstream the drivers in the install CD if possible.

Tat's what I thought, C and D cannot be made active because they are not primary partitions, see the green frame, they are logical drives in an extended partition. Your only primary partition is E which of course is already active. I wonder how you got there, installing both OSs to the end of the drive I don't have any idea how to get out of that mess so I'll just shut up now.

I'm a bit puzzled by all the contradictions in your info... 1st post, D is "the system partition" and the oinly one to have the option to be activated, E is "the XP system partition" is primary and active 2nd post, C is the XP system partition, E is the only one to have the option to be active and is now a spare partition. As the operation you plan is quite critical,you should be more cautious with your infos...

You'll find tons of PIII for less than 100$ on ebay, even laptops, they'll run XP or 2K if you want. I know this is not the right place for directing people to something else than 9x, so you can even install 98, but I think after all the efforts you'll do to install 95 on your 486, you'll end up with something that yourself will not be pleased with. The HD will get full in a year as well. For that problem, there are programs that modify the boot record and alow old PCs to use up to 8Gig I think. Like most here that are old enough, I've ran 95 on a 486DX40, it had 3.11 before and I couldn't stand the speed difference, so I upgraded from 4 to 20Meg. It got kind of okay. Forget opening big pictures with 4meg.

The option is greyed out on the partitions that are already active. I write partitions with an s but there is only one (if any) on each physical HD. Do you have more HDs ? (where is your C drive ???)

As far as I know, the system still gives you the choice to reformat or not when installing XP.

That would take much more time than for 5 computers to automatically download their updates. You can use RyanVM's "post SP2" update pack (~50Meg) and his integrator (that makes it 2 downloads instead of ...?) to make a new XP source. Or use nLite to integrate the pack and make your ISO (plus tons of options).

1) Check in BIOS if the drive is detected. 2) if yes, check in your OS that the drive is detected and that it can read your CDs. Probably not. This looks like a hardware problem.

Because you disabled it already in the first session, so it's now removed from your source, you can't get it back with a next session. As you say, you nLite "further", not "back".

I still think your SP2 cd is dodgy. Try with an other cd, you'll loose less time than recording all those video.

So, he tried other softwares and other medias, ... what's left ?

I can't think of anything that would redirect a subdirectory to a network share. One way would be to synchronize all your local D:\data with the directory on the server.

Boot in safe mode, set resolution to low, then reboot in normal mode and set it to whatever your screen is supposed to be. Also check the screen's refresh rate.

Your .img file was a bootable floppy image, that was part of the bootable cd you were making. Now the .iso is the whole bootable cd image. You need to "burn cd from ISO" or "burn image to CD", not "make bootable cd" or even less burn a data cd containing the iso file.

Hi, I reinstalled XP 6 months ago, had a backup of my OE6 mails (dbx files and .wab). Now to make a long story short, some moron switched off the mailserver without warning because the company is bust and bought by another one. I'd like to reimport those dbx files in a new OE, but even if I choose to import "all folders", it only fills the OE Inbox and standard folders (contacts, sent and deleted items), not the IMAP folders I had before. The IMAP "Inbox.dbx" is 21Meg so it must have something in it. All files are in the same directory. Any input on this ? I must be missing something there.

Tooke two minutes: see 3rd download. Just download 18Megabyte to build a floppy.

Any chance of a model number ? Gateway does have drivers links on their site.

Set the good partition as active.

What about posting in the networking forum ?

Shutdown Monster ?

obviously you removed too much ?

Not using nLite, so I believe this is not the right forum. But I think there has been some discussion about this about a year ago. You need to find the right file and hack it.
