... searching for "Ken Lee".

Is it also recognized by the bios ? If yes, does it show in Disc Management ? If no, check the smaller cable at both ends.

Also, are you starting with an original CD ?

Please make an effort and post some understandable question, then you will get help. Also your question does not seem at all to be related to this forum (which is about a program (nLite) that allows customizing Windows XP installation CDs.

Unless you actively removed that possibility from your standard XP disc, yes. And fyi, this has been asked less than a month ago.

Check the stickies.

Search for threads with "wifi"(3 more) or "wireless" (many more) in the title. This one for example.

There are also network KVM links, but I'm not sure wifi allows a sufficient bandwidth. Depending what your goal is. Is it for cosmetic purpose or a distance problem ?

Try with Shift+Enter instead, it doesn't make a new paragraph (if that's your problem). Next time try to give info like... "in MS-Word...".

Every now and then, people come to ask for such thing. Fact is, you better off spending 15 minutes making your own than loosing hours afterwards, repairing a broken XP. Everybody works on different hardwares and has different components he considers essential. Aside of that, TinyP is warez and as such can't be brought to discussion here.

Strange all 4 threads you link are more than 3 years old. Is your Dell cd an original ? Try updating your tools indeed. Then if nothing, try without point 7 to see if you still get the errors. I never used DriverPacks with nLite but there must be a good order. I'm sure you checked ?

There is a sticky topic about how to make addons. Have you checked it ? Have you tried anything yet ? +Please edit your 1st post and change the title (subject) to something meaningfull. Read forum rule 12 to get the idea why.

No I wasn't, though it could have been a hint . I did it again and the silly adress bar is not refering to the page I get. Strange. Anyway, let's fish. Search for "txtsetup.sif invalid" with "search in title only" ticked and in "nLite" forum. There are 4 threads, 2 have been solved.

No. nLite transforms a CD in an other (customized) CD. From its home page, nLite is a "Windows (XP) Installation Customiser". Independantly from the fact you want/need to use nLite or not, there are other tools to do what you want. Check for instance the "Install Windows from USB" forum on this board. Bootable means you can start a computer from it (or a virtual machine). In the old days of Win95, you had to boot from a floppy drive to launch the install that was on a CD. Also "make bootable ISO" is an option because not everybody needs an ISO, sometimes you just need the files for further customisation (or like, see above, to put them on a USB stick). Not that it takes time to make it, but it also takes few additional MB for the file creation. A "bootable Windows XP installation disc" is still (only) an installation disc. Not a live operating system. What you first did is use nLite on your bootable disc to bring zero customisation to a new disc, which is not exactly what you wanted to do. I hope it's clearer now that nLite is not at all what you thought it was.

Sorry for the double edit... Maybe you also need to disable it for the exact adapter on that same screen (entering its mac adress for nLite to know what you're talking about.

Other people have posted about this. See if their solution applies.

So you performed the repair with the XP pro SP3 disk ? Is your original install XP Pro as well ? I'm unaware of problem repairing an IE8 install with the original XP with IE6, if that really is your problem, but reinstalling seems overkill to me. Wait a bit for someone to come with an other solution. Is your vcomputer connected to Internet or does it require a manual connection ? If needed, there are several tools to integrate IE8 to your source; nLite and its add-ons for which there is a subforum on this board, or RyanVM's Integrator (and its addon).

Talk about plethora of stuff... Is it self built ...by you or buy someone else ? Assuming you can't make tea, I'd say someone else. Can you give the brand and model of that motherboard ? Are you 100% sure the install cd you refer to is matching that exact model ? Does it say so on its label/sleeve/box ? Has no additional sound card be plugged in ? (+Bashing people even before they reply won't help your case.)

The Last session_u.ini is not used by nLite when it burns the iso image. It's a "witness" file that's added to the XP folder after nLite has processed the files (and later put on the ISO if option is selected) . After that file is created, there is no modification (other than the one you made manually) to the files. That file is not used in XP install process either so this is surely not what you want. Winnt.sif is the file that contains the key if you use unattended settings.

Please confirm that you restart with the original MS-XP files and load "modified" Last Session.ini, and not take your resulting files and re-run nLite loading modified ini file. + not all OEM keys work with all OEM cds.

Right-click "My Computer", choose Properties / Advanced / Startup and Recovery. --> Untick the 1st box that stands for "Time to display list of Operating Systems".

The link I posted actually ends up in a "Vista like" PE on USB. I guess the equivalent for XP would be something like Reatogo. I never tried to put that on USB but surely it can be done using PEtoUSB. Depending on what you plan to do with that thing, there is plenty of choice.

Why would you ? I don't understand the question... basically you made an admitted mistake that apparently has no consequence and you ask if you can go on doing the same mistake when you see no advantage doing it. I think you can only add one service pack at a time so keeping the list of your hotfixes in the appropriate screen is much more easy. Also the SP path and name is not kept in the "last session.ini" file (don't ask me why) so you'd have to browse to it (or every single one of your hotfixes) everytime you rebuild a new disk. I think (you might search for "order" for more info) that nLite checks the hotfixes for the good order. What you do not want is adding a fix for a program that is not included in your XP, like IE8 or WMP10.

Check this thread with similar request. As for what to remove, it depends too much on the hardware and use of the OS. And as Spoiled Brat said, nobody's going to do it for you.
