jerryb1988 Posted April 9, 2008 Posted April 9, 2008 (edited) Would it be possible to add a feature to copy your current windows xp activation files to the cd and automatically restore them after xp setup? A tutorial I read online says all that is needed to do is copy wpa.dbl and wpa.bak from your current xp install, then after reinstalling, reboot in safe mode and copy them back. <I CANT CONFIRM THIS AS 100%, maybe someone that knows more about it can shed some light> A feature for this built right into nLite would be awesome. There would really be no harm because if your hardware configuration changes it will reject the wpa.dbl anyways, so people couldn't use this to 'hack' windows.Another feature I'd like is the option to set your virtual memory or even disable it.

tom in tunis Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 i am new to nlite and installing xp. i bought a new Toshiba laptop in Tunis and want to remove XP french and replace it with XP english (Windows XP Professional Corp Service Pack 3, 2006 v.2.0)1. i am reading the nlite directions from http://www.nliteos.com/guide/part1.html to part 3. 2. i take it that for SP3 i need to use beta 2 nlite, but that the above guide can lead me through the steps.3. then i copy the I386 directory from the english version of SP3 to a folder on the desktop (my SP3 CD has other folders on it as well)4. i download nlite beta 2 and run it to do the installation of xp professional sp3.Are the above 4 steps correct?thanks for your help
tom in tunis Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 it is not apparent which file to choose. nlite asks to Select a Service Pack Executable, but autorun and setup seem to be the only executables in the I386 directory. Would the file be hidden? i have attached prtscrn (jpg) files to illustrate.Thank you.
anonymous_user Posted April 12, 2008 Posted April 12, 2008 You have to download SP3. The file is called WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe
tom in tunis Posted April 19, 2008 Posted April 19, 2008 I have XP french version on my new Toshiba Satellite Pro A200, and want the english xp. Do any of you have experience using nlite to install a new version of xp english overtop of a french version of xp? The laptop came with a cd for xp, vista and bios. I tried and now at boot up am given the choice to install xp (new english) or start up xp (existing french). When I choose the install option i got the error, hard disk not found.
g-force Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 Hi nuhi!We`ve got a problem in german translation, can`t fix it myself.As you see in the screenshot, standardoption for computertype is called "Standard" in german translation.We need to call it "Automatisch", because a lot of users switch to "Standard PC" due to be unsure of what to choose.Screener

nuhi Posted April 22, 2008 Author Posted April 22, 2008 Guillaume,1. I will try to play with that Theme page and let you know if it doesn't break2. That is true that workgroup setting almost never works, I think it is Windows bug.3. Ok, if it is not disabled then I will check thatSonic, the files nLite patch need to be returned to their original form to satisfy signature checkups during each hardware install.For some reason, I forgot why, it wasn't working in previous nLite but it did before.augustocvc, there was something with that quick launch tweak that it contains more than just quick launch settings so it was too specific.mara-, tried it and then no more Repair option so can't add that.Octopuss, few examples of those that are hidden and attach your preset in which they are hidden, thx.g-force gn, ok.

Pistolero Posted April 24, 2008 Posted April 24, 2008 Hi Nuhi,Reporting that patching hacks (TCPIP, SFC, UXTHEME) seem to break a slipstreamed XP SP3 RTM install. IIS will not install, WMI ditto, Task Manager will not show user name owning a process, 99% of true addons do not install (they seem to integrate OK, but are absent from the finished product)Any chance you could look into it, please?Thanks for all your kick-a** work!Pistolero.
mjr4077au Posted April 25, 2008 Posted April 25, 2008 Hello, I am having an issue with v1.4.5 beta2, Windows XP Professional SP3 RTM and Intel AHCI drivers...I have my original XP CD which has had SP1, SP1a, SP2, and now SP3 slipstreamed into it. I have copied it to my HDD as normal and made a customised CD. I haven't used nLite for about 3 months but I am doing nothing different than I did then.I have integrated Intel's AHCI drivers as txtmode drivers, removed stuff I don't want and everything else. When I install Windows, it finds the HDD in the text portion of the install, reboots and does the graphical setup of Windows. Then on the first boot, it comes up with 0x7B. If I disable AHCI, it still comes up. I can install Windows in IDE mode fine, just not AHCI.I have also tried Lenovo's AHCI driver but the results are the same as they seem identical to Intel's Original Version.I am using an IBM/Lenovo ThinkPad T61p laptop which uses either the "82801GBM" or the "82801HEM/HBM" southbridge.

Nick_White Posted April 27, 2008 Posted April 27, 2008 I had a similar experience (with nLite 1.4.1), when slipstreaming SP3 RTM and using unnatended options (CDKEY etc.). The result: missing Windows components (OOBE, WMP etc.).
