64bit edition and weird filenames


nch

Recommended Posts

I reduced my winxp pro 64bit edition cd, and for some reason (I did not remove them!) a large amount of folders in the output folder are called "copy of oldfilename" where old filename is the old filename.

I built it under vmware on a shared drive... Might that be the cause?

huh, output folder? You mean where nLite copied the files when browsing to the XP CD?

Try copying the CD files manually to any new folder on the HDD then browse with nLite to it.

I made a copy of my xpcd folder, told nlite where that was, slipstreamed (checked the filenames, they are still normal) then removed some components and now I go back to the folder, and about 1/3rd of the files have "copy of" in there filename and the cd does not boot ( I figured I would try, just in case that was normal).

It's pretty **** weird.

Huh it must be some VMWare shared drive thing then.

How about you try it on VMWare regular virtual disk. It works fine in the normal virtual machine. By normal I mean don't use the shared drive/folder.
