toylet Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 OS is Vi$ta Ultimate x64. I slip-streamed SP1, and then add all post-SP1 hotfixes to the image and integrated Nvidia chipset drivers. I build only one (Ultimate). The ISO image becomes 4.6G.How could I reduce the size to below 4G? What could be removed? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hclarkjr Posted November 2, 2008 Share Posted November 2, 2008 you need to remove some things like drivers and components you are not going to need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toylet Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 you need to remove some things like drivers and components you are not going to need.I removed all printer drivers except HP, and some other useless drivers. That reduced the image to 4.1G.What else big could I remove? um.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GGW Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 Well my vista hp iso is 620 MB. What are you going to use your pc for? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toylet Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 (edited) Well my vista hp iso is 620 MB. What are you going to use your pc for?Game center. Media Player. Browser. Messaging. Word Processing. Calculator....I think the real problem is the increased size after applying SP1 and post-SP1 hotfixes.If I didn't applied SP1 or any hotfix and hit Apply changes, the DVD size was only 2.6G. Applying SP1, and the size of the DVD increased to 3.5G. Added post-SP1 hotfixes, 4.6G!Too bad I can't get rid of those Asian languages. Maybe I should kill Korean as I seldomvisit their sites.

hclarkjr Posted November 3, 2008 Share Posted November 3, 2008 you could just buy a pack of dual layer DVD's, that would solve your problem Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
toylet Posted November 3, 2008 Author Share Posted November 3, 2008 you could just buy a pack of dual layer DVD's, that would solve your problem Wait... is the 4G limit a result of WinPE/VFAT's limitation (in which the installation program run) or is it just a about the size of a single-layer DVD?
