Hello from Nevada, US

Hi there.

I am an French expat lost in Las Vegas, NV. nLite is fascinating and I am very excited about its potential.

I am currently producing a Windows XP Home edition sp3 starting from the I386 folder of my XP Home sp2 OEM install on my Toshiba Satelitte L25-S1216 laptop. Very steep learning curve.

If it fails I modified the install.ini file in Toshiba Recovery CD but I would loose a lot of specific configuration and time to get my system the way I want (multiple partitions for XP, Programs, PageFile and user; no bloat ware and minimal XP system size). I just integrated the drivers I extracted from my system into custom Windows XP install CD and about to try my first install using a virtual machine.

I am not sure which is best start using WMware Player (free) or try out WMware workstations for my install tests?

I have another general question about driver integration and (related hardware) Component removal but I should probably post this in the another forum/thread.

ANyhow, my mind is on overdrive and my learning curve really steep.

... in a nutshell I am glad I joined the party.

Cheers!

Donat
