GreenMachine Posted April 17, 2004 Share Posted April 17, 2004 Welcome, xracer, to XPCREATE and the world of GreenMachine!... Attach the XPCREATE.LOG file to your next post ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xracer Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 I took out the file Q832483 that was in SVC-MDC and it continued beyond that point and everything looked good, but then it just quit at some other point. There is no log, don't know why. I find XPCreate to be a very good utility, but since it's quite different from manually building a cd, it will take me a bit of time to get used to it.I'm stumped at this point.edit: it finishes up to where it's creating files for the CD, then it quits. Here is the amended xpcreate.ini :[XPCREATE]XPSOURCE=G:BOOTIMGFILE=C:\BOOTXPISO=C:\XPCREATE.ISOCDERASE=NOCDSPEED=MAXCDBURNER=F: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tarquel Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Briefly looking....it looks like it finished---------------------------------------------------------------------------------- 20:18:26 -- Finished at: 20:18:26 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------and you iso to burn to a cd should be here:SET XPISO=C:\XPCREATE.ISOif the process did finish correctly Regards,N.

It completes the entire process, says it's creating the files for the cd, very briefly flashes 'burning iso' (or whatever) then quits. I'm sure it's just operator error, but I'd like to get this working Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarquel Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Strange....you do have enough free space for the iso to be created right?Is the folder that the ISO is made from there with everything in it?(think its called FILESCD or CDFILES - something along those lines...haven't got XPCREATE on this PC I'm using yet)Mine doesn't get all the way to where yours does even hehe I have to keep removing hotfixes and other apps so it can progress further....weird stuff.Regards,N.

xracer Posted April 18, 2004 Author Share Posted April 18, 2004 I just tried it on a new install on a different pc. It does the exact same thing. There is no iso file saved anywhere. This leads me to believe it is something I am doing wrong.I'm beginning to feel like a real dope. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarquel Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 well...I'd have to join you on the "real dope" status hehe Can't get mine to work either....yet.I'm sure the almighty GM will help though *smiles very very hopefully*Nath. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shareef59 Posted April 18, 2004 Share Posted April 18, 2004 Try the following method, perhaps it might resolve your issues!1) Make sure your folder option is set to "show hidden files and folders".2) Make a folder in C Drive (not in My Documents) called "XPC-SOURCE".3) Using Windows Explorer copy ALL source CD contents to above folder on the hard drive.4) Create another folder in C Drive called WINXP-XPC, where you have to extract the XPCREATE Files (Make sure you have the latest version).5) Make sure all the hotties etc are in appropriate folders in the WINXP-XPC folder.6) Change the xpcreate.ini file to :-[XPCREATE] XPSOURCE=C:\WINXP-SOURCEBOOTIMGFILE=BOOT\XPCTBOOT.BINXPISO=WXPCREATE.ISOCDERASE=NOCDSPEED=MAXCDBURNER=D: Change drive letter to your CD-RW, if planning to burn a CD in one go (Place DISK in Drive). Otherwise you would find the ISO file created in "WINXP-XPC" folder.7) Run "XPCREATE.CMD".8) Make sure you have a programme to delect ISO files, like WinISO or UltraISO, otherwise you just might miss it. 9) Then you can burn the ISO file using Nero or whatever burning software you have.10) Test it on MS Virtual PC or VMware if needed.This works well for me, never had any issues you guys describe.Hope this helps some.... and excuse me if I stated the obvious above, but sometimes it the very simple things that get overlooked!

I found the error of my ways, although it seems like it still should have worked. XPCreate.ini instructions:; Edit the XPCREATE section below to suit your needs. ;; XPSOURCE is the relative or full path to your Windows Source Files. This may be on a CD, or your HDD.; BOOTIMGFILE is the relative or full path to your CD Boot Image File.; XPISO is the full or relative path of the XPCREATE ISO CD Image File to be created.; CDERASE should be set to YES if you would like to erase your CD-RW before recording.; CDSPEED is the speed at which you would like to burn your CDs.; CDBURNER is the drive letter of your CD Burner.[XPCREATE]XPSOURCE=D:BOOTIMGFILE=BOOT\XPCTBOOT.BINXPISO=XPCREATE.ISOCDERASE=NOCDSPEED=MAXCDBURNER=L:Basically, what Shareef59 posted got me to thinking I should just keep everything in C: and not change the path of BOOTIMGFILE and XPISO to separate folders because they are accessed/created inside the xpcreate folder. Once I did that, all worked well. So, thanks shareef59, you helped me out!! Now, I need to learn how to integrate winnt.sif, reg tweaks, Nvidia drivers, applications etc. to install properly and silently. I placed the nVidia 3.13 unified drivers in SVC-EXE folder and it installed, but I got an error during install; was looking for something in My Documents, a .dll file I think. I ok'd out of it 3 or 4 times and the rest went in fine. So far so good except for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tarquel Posted April 19, 2004 Share Posted April 19, 2004 @shareef59Many thanks for the prompts but indeed obvious I never use spaces in my folder names for things such as XPCREATE for the obvious reasons we all know.But its always worth reminding folk...just in case Still wish I knew what was wrong.Oh well...I'll try and try again til I get it right @xracerNot sure whether installing the Nvidia unified driver this way will work...may produce very undesirable results Regards folksN.

xracer Posted April 19, 2004 Author Share Posted April 19, 2004 @xracerNot sure whether installing the Nvidia unified driver this way will work...may produce very undesirable results Regards folksN.Installing nVidia platform drivers from svc-exe worked, just had those few errors while it was installing. Again I will assume it's something on my end. At this point it's purely a learning curve, so am taking baby steps. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
