Problem with install

[Zeero]

Hello fellows

I have a problem with Windows XP after using Nlite to customize installation

boot with the new CD and Xp begins to load, but after a few seconds it says that on the hardisk there is no previous version installed and ask me to introduce a Windows XP Home or Professional Original Cd to test if I'm eligible to install the Windows version on the CD.

I'm using Windows XP SP2 VLP not a Upgrade edition.

I'm pretty sure that I removed something fot this to happen but have no idea of what it was.

Can some oen give some advice on this problem?

Cheers

Zeero,

Please attach (not paste) your LastSession.ini. What is your CD label (mine is ARMPXOEM_EN)? Make sure you have not nLited the same source more than once.

Enjoy, John.

Original CD volume labes is VX2PVOL_ES

Its in spanish

this is the last_session.ini

Will try removing only a few things again and let you know.

Thanks

Zeero,

It looks like you are running nLite under XP x64 - correct? Are you running nLite.exe in SP2 XP Compatibility mode? This may be the root of your problem.

I am curious where you got your original CD. My Google search on the label indicates it is a version offered for DL on the Internet and is therefore warez (see Forum Rules, rule 1.a)

Please let us hear, John.

Yes I'm running XP x64, but not running nlite in sp2 xp compat. mode.

I Already redone all the nlite process (again without compat mode) and slipstreamed XP SP3 to the CD, leaving some other things untouched and removing only some things and doing some tweaks, the ISO with problems was 263MB new ISO is 508MB and IT WORKS like a charm!!!

Installed on VMware Server and after install running system only uses 73 mb RAM. Installed Office 2007 Pro Plus and it run OK!

About the CD Source believe me, it's original from MS because I'm a Certified Partner for Microsoft, Citrix and VMWare, all this work I'm doing is related to a Virtual Desktop Infrastructure project where I need to remove non essentials services and programs to keep Windows Virtual Machines consuming as little memory and Disk as posible!

And after this test I'm just closer to the goal!

Now I only need to reduce ISO size to remove even more services and unneded files.

Thank you!

Not to gatecrash anything (as usual .)) but you should actually be aware that the use of nlite in a Commercial environment is NOT allowed, read here (and given links):

I did use nlite for testing only, seeing what can be achieved by reducing Windows XP and customizing it for deployment in a VDI Solution.

I said that this test takes me closer to the goal, but not said I was already there, now I can put some people of my team to do it the hard way, knowing that this can be acomplished...

this test just pointed me in the right direction...

cheers
