Will not boot

[ssulaco]

In "mode" selection i used Direct burn,but the finished DVD wont boot,This is my first burn and probably did something wrong.

Could be compatibility issue, or burn speed.

If you have RW to test then try with lower speed.

Otherwise make ISO and burn with some other program after vLite made the ISO. If that fails again then remove any non-standard folders and files from the ISO root folder before making ISO with vLite.

Thanks nuhi,really cool program...Before my next burn I want to try one of the virtual machines you have listed,...which one would you recommend for a novice?

VirtualBox (free)

VMWare Player (free)

VMWare Workstation (not free)

Virtual PC (free)

Parallels (not free)

Well Virtual PC is free so that is recommended.

That VMWare Player is questionable, I think it needs an image to play for free, not sure.

nuhi...I did what you suggested,created image and used ImgBurn,It booted just fine.....Thanks for the help,Vlite is one Supercool Program.

2 Questions:

1)During installation it said something to the fact:will save the original windows program in file:(windows old).

I can dump this file later with no problem?

2)I read your article http://www.vlite.net/servicepack.html....But could I just download the whole SP?

Quote from XtremeMaC:

whereas its good vlite's referenced by MS, be aware that unless u download the whole sp1 434.5MB, u might not see sp1 on windows update!!

sp1 download main page: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...;displaylang=en

sp1 download direct link: http://download.microsoft.com/download/3/a...0-X86-wave0.exe

ow and these are avaliable for 5 languages, check the main page..

and here's Nuhi's response on the subject. http://www.vlite.net/servicepack.html

(sorry if this was mentioned b4, i had not seen it)

not that i have any interest in vista. sorry i love my xp

Ok.

1. That means that your partition already has Windows installed (or parts of the old install). Yes you can delete it after install, use Unlocker if you don't want to mess the permissions manually.

2. Thing is SP will not install if you removed some components, you can download full SP and install it on a machine with all components. If you plan on removing components them make the SP1 integrated image first, guide on that link. If you want preintegrated SP from MS then see if there is some cheap replacement option with your retailer.
