Thanks a lot Delprat. So far I'm just reading a how to guide about this from a web site that gets really into it for advanced users and all that. It's got beginners section etc, but does seem to have a lot of stuff. They linked here so I thought this would be a good time to ask about the SP2 thing I asked about. I have not read much or anything yet so I'm not sure how to do this stuff totally. What I would like to do is create an unattended install that will have all newest drivers for my hardware, windows update fixes for everything and certain programs and maybe even a game so I won't have to install anything at all. This unattended install would have all the stuff I always use and would go on a dvd. Apps would be like Office 2003 pro with Outlook set up for my email account if possible and Word, so Outlook and Word would be the only things installed, a default install is also ok if needed, mcafee the newest virus program and its related update since comcast gives this away free. I'd want all possible video/Audio codecs needed. I'd want apple itunes/quicktime, tunebite, yahoo music engine, Nero, Acronis 8.0, newest firefox at the time with adblock extension along with fasterfox extension and now this new ad block auto updater list thingy that has tons of stuff it comes pre configured for to block ads etc. dvd decryptor, opera newest version, winrar and quickpar, daemon tools, some design cad stuff, adobe acrobat reader the newest, flash for web browsing, and then possible Age Of Empires 3 with update. Also in firefox and IE I'd want some bookmarks in there too. That's about all I could think of.
