berniejeff Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 i have a legit copy of winxp on this computer, but i got no winxp install disc from the manufactuer (they just gave me their own "system restore" disc with all sorts of random crap on it). i try to run nlite and point it to my c:/windows/i386 folder instead, but it says "cd ident file not detected!" and says i need to copy win51c to the c:/windows/ directory. so is it possible to make an nlite cd without actually having the original winxp cd? thanks.

Ponch Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 A bit of search would have pointed you to the nLite forum section. Still welcome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cluberti Posted March 2, 2008 Share Posted March 2, 2008 Moved to nlite forum. Previous poster is correct, though, this has been asked before here numerous times. Please use the search functionality of the forums for quicker answers. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
berniejeff Posted March 3, 2008 Author Share Posted March 3, 2008 i read the link to the bart's pe forum, but is that going to help me? if i slipstream my i386 files, it won't ask for the cd anymore?also, i DID use the search function, but it apparently doesn't allow any strings with words which contain fewer than 3 characters, so i couldn't get any results for "nlite no winxp cd," which seemed to me to be the most likely thing to search for.

jaclaz Posted March 3, 2008 Share Posted March 3, 2008 The idea of the given thread is:1) forget for one moment nlite2) recreate a XP CD from the files you have3) the problem "nlite no winxp cd" becomes "nlite WITH winxp cd"jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Schweinebacke Posted October 29, 2008 Share Posted October 29, 2008 (edited) <nlite> says "cd ident file not detected!" and says i need to copy win51c to the c:/windows/ directory.Nothing magic about them. OEM Win XP Pro = Win51IPOEM Win XP Home = Win51ICOEM Win XP Pro SP1 = Win51IP.SP1OEM Win XP Home SP1 = Win51IC.SP1...Those files contain just the text "Windows" Just create the missing file using notepad!
