Use vLite to slipstream without a Service Pack?

[NotVeryTechie]

Hi there

I have a Vista disk with SP1. But I would like to slipstream a disk that contains the OS and my drivers. Can i use vLite to do this even though I am not installing a service pack?

If you want to know how to use Vlite you can start from here: http://www.vlite.net/about.html and move on to here: http://www.vlite.net/help/

Thank you. The guide doesn't say whether vLite will find ALL the drivers for me, or do I need to figure out which ones to back up myself? How?

Also doesn't make it clear if I can integrate the drivers without also integrating a service pack at the same time.

1)You need to find the nessesary drivers for your hardware yourself.

2)Yes you can integrate drivers only or service pack only.I strongly advise you to integrate service pack first(no other changes to the image) and make ISO.Then extract iso and restart the process...exept now you can integrate drivers,hotfixes and language packs.

The guide how to properly integrate SP1 can be found here: http://www.msfn.org/board/Tutorial-Build-W...-D-t114957.html

Hi there, thank you for the help. Sorry to keep asking, but I really need to understand what I am doing here. The thing is that I have a Vista disk with SP1 Already Integrated, so integrating SP1 is not going to be neccesary.

Regarding the drivers - all the drivers are on my computer. Is there any way to find the complete list of them, or can I not copy them from the pc itself? Can I copy them from my recovery disk?

Can I integrate my activation code into the final copy? How do I do that? (Not licence code, activation code)

If you want to know what drivers are installed in your pc and to get the newest then go here: http://driveragent.com/?PHPSESSID=hrvda86kiemovc8mp5vkfr71a3 .Copying drivers from working PC or recovery disk is not so easy.They are already integrated and you are better off downloadin the newest drivers for your hardware.

Can I integrate my activation code into the final copy? How do I do that? (Not licence code, activation code)

If by activation code you mean the XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX windows product key then yes.See the Unattended tab in vlite.There you can enter it and much more.

Thank you! Where do I find a list of all the drivers I need to find. I have Belarc, will that list ALL the drivers that I need to get?

By the key I mean the ACTIVATION CODE that you get after you have registered and then contacted MS and then activated.

You can try verifier.exe from C:\WINDOWS\system32

I still dont get it lol.I know no such activation code.
