genosmm Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 Would like to use nLite to Significantly Reduce Windows but I do not want to burn a CD because have not finalized my install so would like to run the reduced Windows install files from a hard drive.Did a search but to date have not found any tutorials or guidesThanksG Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tw3kr-windows Posted May 23, 2008 Share Posted May 23, 2008 You can create the bootable ISO, and use a Virtual Machine to start it with.Try something like VMWarePlayer:http://www.vmware.com/products/player/You will also need: EasyVMX:http://www.easyvmx.com/Or Microsoft Virtual PC:http://www.microsoft.com/windows/downloads/virtualpc/default.mspxThat's what I always do to try out my nLite installs, if it's stable and works, I then install it on my main system Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
E-66 Posted May 24, 2008 Share Posted May 24, 2008 I always install from the HDD because it's faster than installing from CD and because I've never messed around with any 'virtual' environments so I don't know how they work.I posted about installing from HDD in this thread:http://www.msfn.org/board/boot-floppy-t116...085#entry758085 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
