  1. If your options are the same, one file should work. In your case, you could potentially have 2 different keys, which might be an issue. I use one file for both my x86 and x64 installs. I did have to create one for each, and then I merged them. Does that help?

    Here is a quick example:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <unattend xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:unattend">
    <settings pass="specialize">
    <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="x86" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <ProductKey>XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX</ProductKey>
    <TimeZone>Eastern Standard Time</TimeZone>
    <DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet>false</DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet>
    </component>
    </settings>
    <settings pass="specialize">
    <component name="Microsoft-Windows-Shell-Setup" processorArchitecture="amd64" publicKeyToken="31bf3856ad364e35" language="neutral" versionScope="nonSxS" xmlns:wcm="http://schemas.microsoft.com/WMIConfig/2002/State" xmlns:xsi="http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema-instance">
    <ProductKey>XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX</ProductKey>
    <DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet>false</DisableAutoDaylightTimeSet>
    <TimeZone>Eastern Standard Time</TimeZone>
    </component>
    </settings>
    <cpi:offlineImage cpi:source="wim:v:/slipstream/windowssevenenterprisecombined/sources/install.wim#ENTERPRISEX86" xmlns:cpi="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:cpi" />
    </unattend>

  2. I pulled an NFS Drive out of a Samba Server (specifically the ANAS350 NAS drive) and would like to read it under Windows 7 x64. I've installed the Drive in the machine and can see the drive under the volume manager. Now I would like to see it in Explorer and retrieve files. I can't seem to mount it so it's readable. Does anyone have ideas?

    Depending on what filesystem it is (ext3, reiserfs, etc), there are a number of windows utilities that you can install to read the drive.

  3. 1. Take an XP without SP.

    2. Apply SP1 and SP2, save as an iso.

    I say you're doing too much work. You only need to apply SP2 as it contains all of the updates included in SP1.

    But the rest of your process looks reasonable.

  4. SP1 won't install on my laptop with Ultimate that's been customized with vLite, gives me error code 0x80070002 :(

    Has anyone managed to shoehorn SP1 onto a vLite modified Vista install? Or am I going to have to find an Anytime Upgrade DVD with SP1 already integrated and start over?

    It's probably not vlite causing the issue. I was getting that error on my machine (stock install). I got it and reported it on every beta release and it was finally fixed in RC2. When I downloaded the final build, it wouldn't install again....

  5. The biggest problem we (we technicians) are finding with the newest computers running Vista is that there are NO XP drivers available for the hardware. XP without hardware drivers is dead in the water, it if will install at all.

    I'd also like to add that most manufacturers (Dell, Sony, etc) won't put the XP drivers on their sites but if you go to the actual hardware manufacturers site, you will find the drivers you seek.

  6. correct me if I am wrong but so far 'Ultimate Extras' is just an additional two wallpapers.

    And Texas Hold 'em.... :) They tried to pass off some bitlocker tool as an extra.... but I think it's actually more of an enhancement to the existing bitlocker system.

  7. Out of curiosity... check your system BIOS. My Dell had BT and WiFi on the same chipset and about 20 configuration options via the BIOS menu.

    While i Haven't noted any symptoms similar to yours, it's worth a check.

  8. does this mean that you do not have to have a valid XP install/Key/License in order for the upgrade edition to install? i know that the EULA doesnt allow it but would it be possible?

    Yes, but of course, that would violate your EULA.

  9. Here is the workaround....

    http://www.dailytech.com/Workaround+Discov...article5932.htm

    1. Boot from the Windows Vista Upgrade DVD and start the setup program.

    2. When prompted to enter your product key, DO NOT enter it. Click "Next" and proceed with setup. This will install Windows Vista as a 30-day trial.

    3. When prompted, select the edition of Vista which you have purchased and continue with setup.

    4. Once setup has been completed and you have been brought to the desktop for the first time, run the install program from within Windows Vista.

    5. This time, type in your product key when prompted.

    6. When asked whether to perform an Upgrade or Custom (advanced) install, choose Custom (advanced) to perform a clean install of Vista. Yes, this means that you will have to install Vista for a second time.

    7. Once setup has completed for the second time, you should be able to activate Windows Vista normally. You can also delete the Windows.old directory which contains information from the first Vista install.
