I don't have any hal.exe. If the message was "missing hal.dll", I think she could have solved it with a repair console, booting from an XP cd.

Mijzelf did the math for you. Lets repeat. 1byte(B ) = 8bits(b ) (2^8=256 possibilities, enough for all characters), make it ~10 for the whole communication (sort of wrapping). 1kB = 1.000bytes and 1mB=1.000.000bytes (=~10.000.000b exchanged) also 1KB=1024 bytes and 1MB=1024KB, but lets round it. -80kbits/s is the speed, it's the volume per time. You want the time, so time=volume/speed but you have to use the same units for both values. (50.000.000 x 10bits) / (80.000bits/sec) = 6250sec = ~104min =~1h44'. This is pure theory, so use 1024 (twice) instead of 1000 and also add ~20% for real world. That gives ~2hours 11'. and so on, 1MB on 56k modem ~4min 1MB on 10Mb network ~1.2sec 10MB on 100Mb network ~1.2sec

I know that with sysprep for instance, you cannot use an Intel image and apply it to an AMD (nor the opposite), even if the rest of the computer is (almost) identical. The system you use has probably the same restriction.

still hesitating. On my system (XP), I cannot right-click a drive and choose "send to". Neither can I "send to a folder", only to a drive's root. So I don't know what you did. Your D drive your CDROM, right ? So either -you let nLite copy its content (pointing to the CD) to a (new and empty) folder it lets you create with a name you choose on your C drive (NOT C:\Windows\ !!!), or -you create that new folder manually and copy the files manually (copy/paste will do) and then start nLite and point to that folder. I wish you luck.

Or you can just edit the .sif when nLite stops, before it makes the iso.

The guide assumes non-technical people would not be interrested in using nLite. You don't even seem to be familiar with Windows Explorer or moving/copying files. Do you know where you're going to ?

When ? how ? why ? Are you pointing to C:\Windows ???

there's a few lines about this in the FAQ.

I don't know where you get that from but nLite has never had the option to pass the partitionning bit. That is unless you modify the winnt.sif manually, which you don't seem to be aware of. So maybe all those years you never used the "unattended" section ? For the admin password, you have to tick the "blank password" box or fill the passwords.

I think you should rephrase this so it makes sense. Then you can delete my (this) post as well . I think the idea is IE7 then SP3= no going back to IE6. (IE6) SP3 then IE7= possible to roll back to IE6.

You're trying to burn a CDROM image onto a USB stick ? hum. Rather check the forum "Install XP from USB". The folders are usable but not the ISO file.

You might try to reset the PCI configuration in Bios.

Why do you double post when you know that people will point you to the nLite forum anyway ?

Not very clear what you're after but there is a subforum on "how to install XP from USB".

There's that thing called SP3 that would get you pretty up to date.

Do you have 1024x768 at any point (untill reboot?) or does it not take it at all ? It might also be related to the detected screen.

He wants a choice wether nLites ALWAYS shows previous ini files from the nLite\presets\ folder or from the working directory. I don't think it's a usefull option as anyway, you have to choose the ini so you have to know where it is. Also if you have a list of more than one ini, you should normally know that you are in the nLite\preset\ directory and so not be confused. Unless you also keep a history of ini's on your media. One more thing, working from a CD on an other computer will have you use paths that are not present (drivers paths for instance). Anyway...

Don't even bother with the search button, just read a few threads on the first pages of this forum, this is asked and answered ten times this week. Yes. Providing your XP Pro is NLD as well and not illegally downloaded. Still welcome to the forum.

I don't want to be harsh on a 1st poster, but do you have any idea how many times that question has been asked and answered in the past two weeks ?

There is a big "MAKE ISO" button in the centre of your screen shot. Maybe you could try it instead of "Next".

It is possible. Is your SP2 disc an original ?

Was "Microsoft Windows XP" ever free ?

Few years ago, FujitsuSiemens was delivering multi language recovery DVDs here is Belgium. I guess it was dutch-french-german-english. You had to choose the version at install. But if you want just two versions on one cd, maybe you can apply this to XP ?

Boot from an XP cd, get in the Recovery Console and type "chkdsk c: /p" without the quotes. This is likely to fix your problem unless the HDD is damaged.

Do you mean you'd like a shortcut to "C:\WINDOWS\explorer.exe /n,/e,C:\My Documents" or something like that on your desktop and in your StartMenu ? Or in the display properties, go to Desktop - Customize Desktop and enable the "My Documents" icon ?
