First of all, nLite is very cool. It saved my bacon with installing XP/SATA drivers on laptops and other machines that insist on giving me the BSOD STOP: 7B error. This allowed me to slipstream the SATA drivers and actually get XP loaded.

Now, on to my current issue. In short, I attempted to create what I thought was a "bare" installation ISO. Didn't do any customization except to make it "hands off". No drivers, nothing. Bottom line...the image is too **** big! I got this even going with all of the defaults and not changing anything. So, why is that happening? Is there a bunch of crap added to my XP source folder that isn't getting deleted when I attempt to do a "new" config?

Also, is there a way to create a boobtable DVD? I attempted to create a large iso image then burn to DVD but I guess ISOs are specific to CDs because nero didn't like it. Anyway, those are my issues. Your help is appreciated.

Thanks,

Brian

how bout u be more specific on what is causing ur problem like ur saying u just added the drivers (which are ....mbs big) which caused a normal windows source (650mb) to be larger than a cd size ??? and specify what nLite version you are using/

Anyway... nLite can create bootable DVD's and they can burn them also (you just need a blank DVD in the drive). I guess your problem is is using nero to burn the iso. Just use nLite to burn the files cause using any other app may make the iso to not be bootable plus nlite burning section is really easy to use.

Try to do the thing again and when u get to the bootable iso section - select the "Direct Burn" on the text box and have a blank DVD ready.
