Have you also tried the /? switch? So you can see what switches ARE possible.

After a lot of revisions, I took the installation again, snatched some stuff out of it and - don't freak - took it down to 111.1 MB. The whole ISO I mean! Then when I added a bit ripped Office, the whole ISO became 435. I think 111.1 is pretty much the limit, if you still want to get on the internet with it. After the installation, the Windows folder is 272.7 MB. The whole harddisk took 899 MB, cuz of Office with his fat a**!

Hehe, at school I had no dvd burner. But I still managed to get it on. The WinXP is 111.1 MB and the Office is somewhere around 400 MB's. I wasn't allowed to shrink Office anything beyond the normal way. The normal way is considered that ORK thingy. So I stripped Office from it's help files and other stuff, that's why it only shrunk for 150 MB's to ~400. Nice size. After install, the whole installation (WinXP + Office XP) took 899 MB. Well, the project succeeded and I'm going to use nLite for own use now. Oh, for the wizzkiddies: The running WinXP took only 41 MB's of ram while normal use. After I closed down Explorer and the SVChost.exe (all 4 of em) it ran on 25.6 MB ram. To prevent the system from rebooting after SVChost is shut down, open the Run dialog and type "Shutdown -a" (without the quotes). 25.6 MB RAM!!!! Dude, I got 2 gigs of ram on my board, just think of how much free ram I have now! Oh and thnx for all!!!

How did you guys get it so small o.O; I got it at 600+ MB's, took out as much as possible... What could I have missed? (I still want Office on the same cd, so getting a WORKING WinXP SP2 smaller than 210 MB's would allow Office on the same cd)

Today is the last day of the project, I either have to finish it this day (still have 4 hours) or monday with reduction of points. Either way, I will finish it. Thnx for all the help. ***EDIT*** I went for this guide: http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=63596

You said: I don't think my BIOS works with an USB keyboard. An USB keyboard would work for Windows, but not DOS, what do I do when I have to reinstall my windows. I reply: nLite.

hehe, I suppose I'd better tell school to buy themselves a dvd-burner now... Oh well, I need to shrink WinXP even further, because I would have to buy that dvd-burner myself... Thnx for this help you guys! I just hope I can get it all on 1 cd, even though all guides tell me it's impossible. hehe. Thnx again and you'll hear from me if it worked.

I got a quick question, it's needed for a school's project. I have to make an unattended WinXP installation and need to include the Office XP. So, my question would be: Is it possible to let nLite install Office while installing WinXP? If yes, was there a tutorial I missed? Or isn't it possible? So my goal would be to have Office XP installed on the very first completed boot. Thank you for your time and interest if there is any.
