Ponch Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 wake up people and make Nlite fast and easy creating AUTOMATIC BOOTABLE DVD for XP SP3. I think you should wake up and first learn about the free tool you are unsuccessfuly trying to use. Also learn the basic of forum rules, like choosing a decent title for your thread. As a first post, I would describe this as a request to be flamed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelsenellenelvian Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 (edited) It will make the image for xp no matter what the size of the folder is. It is up to you to be smart enough to use a dvd or cd when you stick the disk in your burner.I suggest you manuallly remove the unneded folders first (See explanation of them here --> http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/57/ )Now how did you add the MUI and SP files for integration?You have had to have stuffed up something because with 2 mui's and sp3 you still would not have gone over 700 megs.

Kelsenellenelvian Posted May 19, 2008 Share Posted May 19, 2008 OK lets still back up a bit.1 = Take an ORIGNAL non-modified XP source.2 = Copy that to the harddrive in a folder called XP (Whatever you want to name it)3 = Run nLite and point it to the XP source folder you just made, Select these options - service pack, hotfixes and bootable iso.4 = Click next and select the SP3 for integration.5 = Click next and select the 2 mui packs for integration.6 = Click next and allow nlite to proccess your disk.7 = Check your source folder size. If less than 700 megs then grab a blank cd, if more grab a blank DVD.8 = Select DIRECT BURN!!!9 = Test in a virtual enviroment. (Virtualbox, VMware or virtualPC)10 = Format PC.....

Maybe you should google "creating an iso for dummies" before you come on here flaming a free program that works perfectly for thousands of others who DO possess the basic knowledge to burn a DVD ISO....I have no issues buring the nLite ISO to DVD and nLite is probably the best free program I have come across in decades.
