create clean install from Toshiba Recovery Disc

[patalete]

Hi,

I have a toshiba laptop and it comes with a recovery disc, but i dont really like it cause its install tons of progams than I dont really need. The installation takes too long and then I have to spend extra time uninstalling all those apps..then apply the microsoft updates....

I would like to know what options I have, to create a clean installation disc (its Vista32 home premium) that only install the needed drivers and basics programs, and also slipstream all current updates till these days...(and that fits in one dvd only.)

this is the structure of the dvd recovery disc:

F:\05378XR1.crc
F:\05378XSP.swm
F:\05378XSP2.swm
F:\05378XSP3.swm
F:\05378XSP4.swm
F:\05378XSP5.swm
F:\05378XV1.crc
F:\EFI
F:\HDDPREP
F:\Setenv.ini
F:\Tools
F:\boot
F:\bootmgr
F:\sources
F:\EFI\microsoft
F:\EFI\microsoft\boot
F:\EFI\microsoft\boot\bcd
F:\EFI\microsoft\boot\fonts
F:\EFI\microsoft\boot\fonts\chs_boot.ttf
F:\EFI\microsoft\boot\fonts\cht_boot.ttf
F:\EFI\microsoft\boot\fonts\jpn_boot.ttf
F:\EFI\microsoft\boot\fonts\kor_boot.ttf
F:\EFI\microsoft\boot\fonts\wgl4_boot.ttf
F:\HDDPREP\boot
F:\HDDPREP\bootmgr
F:\HDDPREP\sources
F:\HDDPREP\boot\bcd
F:\HDDPREP\boot\boot.sdi
F:\HDDPREP\boot\etfsboot.com
F:\HDDPREP\boot\fonts
F:\HDDPREP\boot\fonts\wgl4_boot.ttf
F:\HDDPREP\sources\boot.wim
F:\Tools\XcludeCRC.ini
F:\Tools\crtdll.dll
F:\Tools\imagex.exe
F:\Tools\vRecoFastCRC.exe
F:\Tools\zlibwapi.dll
F:\boot\bcd
F:\boot\boot.sdi
F:\boot\etfsboot.com
F:\boot\fonts
F:\boot\fonts\chs_boot.ttf
F:\boot\fonts\cht_boot.ttf
F:\boot\fonts\jpn_boot.ttf
F:\boot\fonts\kor_boot.ttf
F:\boot\fonts\wgl4_boot.ttf
F:\sources\boot.wim

At least point me to the main steps to start with..I will try to find out the rest over here

thanks

.swm files should be parts of a bigger .wim file:

But they could well be crippled/encrypted/whatever:

thanks

english is not my first language...but will take a look into that .

edit:

ok, I tried renaming the .swm's to instal*.swm and moved to sources folder, then opened vlite and it started merging. after the process a new .wim file is created but now when opening with vlite it says that boot.wim is lost and shows up an error like one of the post you previously told me...and that post still has no answer about that issue since august...

so you are saying that I merge the split files , then use the win2008 boot.wim and then it will work fine in vLite?
