Solarium Posted March 16, 2016 Share Posted March 16, 2016 Hi everybody! I'm trying to create a slim installation disc of WinXP Pro X86 and I need some good advice on hardware support. NLite presents a list of items (that follows), many of which are in red (just 8 in black). I know that red items are considered important/critical items but many people smoothly remove them without experiencing any problem later. Here is the list: AGP Filters ALI 1535 SMBus Host Controller ALI IDE Controller AMD IDE Controller ATM Support Battery Bluetooth Support Brother Devices CMD PCI IDE Controller CPU AMD CPU Intel CPU Transmeta Crusoe Firewire (1394) Firewire Network Support Floppy Support Gravis Digital Game Port IEEE 1284.4 Devices (Dot4) Infrared Intel PCI IDE Controller Iomega Zip Drive Joystick Support Logical Disk Manager Microsoft Color Management (ICM) Modem Support Multi-port serial adapters Multi Processor Support PCMCIA Ports (COM & LPT) Printer Support Ramdisk Secure Digital Host Controller Smartcards Sony Memory Stick Teletext Codec Toshiba PCI IDE Controller USB Audio support USB Ethernet USB Video Capture devices VIA PCI IDE Controller Video Capture Windows CE USB Host Windows Image Acquisition (WIA) Now, considering that my WinXP disc is aimed to be as "universal" as possible, I'm willing to remove at least Gravis Digital Game Port and Iomega Zip Drive. But I have some doubts concerning other 2 items in black characters: Teletext Codec and Windows CE USB Host. Are they normally of any use?Could I safely remove them? Someone has taken out many red items such as bluetooth support, firewire (1394), firewire network support, infrared, sony memory stick, Toshiba PCI IDE Controller, etc., etc. Could you please suggest any red item that, in your opinion, is scarcely useful or completely useless nowadays (even though my disc, as said before, should be universal and then include as many items as possible)? Thanks in advance! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
netbookdelgob Posted March 18, 2016 Share Posted March 18, 2016 Well if you are going to make it "universal", you shouldnt remove any driver. But i think you can remove the Iomega zip driver, the infrared (My last notebook has it and its a toshiba 320cds...). And the game port... if its the game port for joysticks, i think its safe to remove. Dont know about Windows CE USB host, maybe its safe to remove, maybe its the windows mobile drivers. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
