Cannot install Windows via nLite

[Kelsenellenelvian]

I love VMWare but it's not free and is HUGE!

Virtual PC is supposed to be really good and free.

Can you please provide a guide? I'm new to this thing. I can't figure it out. I guess you can all me a noob.

I tried it out and I don't think it works.

Kelsenellenelvian, VMware Server is free but huge (about 500 MB). VMware Player is free and not huge (about 100 MB). I just switched from Server to Player because Server went EOL and had problems with W7. Enjoy, John.

Qemu is free and small (even with Qemu Manager):

http://www.davereyn.co.uk/download.htm

it will be slightly slower than other Virtual Machines, but for a "once in a lifetime" use it will be more than enough AND it uses "standard" virtual hardware and installing XP on it needs NOT "fancy" drivers.

Ok. I'm confused. I installed XP on a virtual machine. Now, how do I install it on my laptop?

Try doing what I said in post #6.

[spades0001]

I did. Do I have to burn it onto a disk or can I just mount it using Ultraiso?

[Guest]

In post #10, you selected multiple items. In post #6 I said to select only 1. Try only selecting the one I said.

Since it's a driver issue, you have to burn it and test it on your physical PC.
