What are you trying to do?

You wont slipstream SP3 into your XP?

Please be more exactly!

[komputer]

I am trying to have a XP cd with sp3 in it.

Is that not called slipstreaming? combining sp3 into the win xp sp2?

I have different CDs

1. HP re installition win xp sp2 cd

2. OEM system builder win xp sp2 cd, VRMOP-EN

3. Dell re installation win xp sp2 cd

I am trying to make the above cds so they have sp3

I run nLite and can create an ISO file , ie slipstream sp3, for the dell and hp cds.

It will not work for the system builder OEM cd

Yes, I Know I can't put the sp3 into the cd itself. I make an ISO file and then burn it.

The problem is that Nlite will not recognize the oem system builder cd.

When I run the nLIte program

finding the windows installation

Browse

I click on the drive where the cd is located and

it gives me an error

"information"

make sure that the selected folder or drive contains the i386 or amd64 directory and proper windows install files

nLite is for a pre install enviroment .......................................................................

if I select the drive that contains the HP cd, it works fine. no problem there so I think nlite does not

like the system builder oem cd.

It does contain the I386 folder/directory. All 3 contain it.

Is it that the oem system builder cd is different, ie not have the windows install files that nlite is looking for?

Yet My question is how do i make an iso file with nlite containing the win xp on the oem system builder cd

VRMOPK-EN

Yes it is, but from your first post i was not sure you meaning this!

What is a "re installition" Disk? Never heard of that! 

But dosent matter, because its works for /by you!

You copying your source from cd with nlite on your harddrive?

Then try doing this manually (make sure you see hidden files).

Is your source on HDD try again to slipstream your SP3.

---------------------------------------------------------------

That re installition (installation) ....was a test word to see what type of poster you were, ie trying to help me or just looking for cheap shots. ( when one misspells a word, this forum underlines it in red so I knew what I was typing)

You failed!

I could lower my self and do the same ie what is DOSENT matter, but I will not.

=======================

You say>>>You copying your source from cd with nlite on your harddrive?

1. As you read in my post>>> nLite will not go that far>>

I posted>>

finding the windows installation

Browse

I click on the drive where the cd is located and

it gives me an error

"information"

make sure that the selected folder or drive contains the i386 or amd64 directory and proper windows install files

nLite is for a pre install enviroment .......................................................................

if I select the drive that contains the HP cd, it works fine. no problem there so I think nlite does not

like the system builder oem cd.

-------------------------------------------------

2. Also note that it works fine for the other 2 CDs. so why all the chatter with the OEM system builder cd?

Why won't nLite work with it?, ie recognize the cd in the drive. It will recognize the HP or Dell cds.

Yes, I did change drives, tried the OEM cd in the other drive.

===========================

You got me lost in this: I need step by step, not just a general instruction.

You say>>>Then try doing this manually (make sure you see hidden files).

Is your source on HDD try again to slipstream your SP3.

-------------------------

Thank you for your effort but am still not able to slipstream this one.

Again note that I have slipstreamed the two other CDs, so nLite is running properly and no operator error.

You failed!

No!  sorry!  Not in this case!  My english is far a way to be perfect. Iven i would be perfect in this case i would not make fun of people with a more w

orse english.

So take it easy!   

...and if i repeat a question, than i just wont get sure! I dont wont bother you or someone!

a..d please use [ quote] tags  if you quoting someone, its better to reading and understanding.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Back to your Problem!

So you have copy your source to manually harddisk?

Please post your folder structure (and the files in the main folder), or make a screenshot of it.

Which nlite version are you using?

[komputer]

Here are some screen shots of WE

Note:

1. The size of the i386 folders

2. files under main directory

3. when I run setup, I get different screens

[komputer]

next one

[komputer]

Did not know how to upload all 3 pics on one post.

I think the problem is the oem cd is not normal. ie nlite has trouble with it

Using nLite ver 1.4.5beta2

running on Vista Home Premium

When I run nLite, first screen says welcome to nlite

next

next window is....locating the windows installation

i click on browse

select the drive that the oem system builder vrmopk_en is located

click on ok and i get an error

the pop up window says..information...

Make sure that the selected folder or drive containsthe i386 or amd64 directory and proper windows installation files

nLite is for a pre install environment only,,,,,,baa bla bla

this is where i think the problem lies.

had to re do it

[danker]

Your "OEM system builder win xp sp2 cd, VRMOP-EN" has taken my to the wrong direction.

I read the "system builder" or short SB, maybe there is a differnece in germany and USA (or where you came from).

SB Version i know as "normal" disks just cheaper and without support.

But now you call this allwas OEM and for my there is a big difference between a SB an a OEM.

I know some different OEM Version, some are nearly "normal" XP Disks some are very "ugly" (to say it nice).

When i see it reight, you got exactly one of that version you have no way to work with nlite.

Some version you can rebuild for nlite, but i dont know english Tools for this (only german ones).

...so i think i have to give up...

[komputer]

I found nLite here:

The cd says on the label:

"For system builder use only in preinstallation of Windows XP. Not for distribution to end users"
