Looks ok to me, but i'm by no means the one to ask...but as far as the wasteing a dvd

I use VMware or virtual pc and cdimage to make the iso file, then mount with daemon tools, that way i can test my images and if they really die on me, oh well nothing wasted

start cdimage.exe -lAIODVD2  -b\AIO-DVD2\BOOT\loader.bin -h -n -o -m \AIO-DVD2 E:\AIODVD2.iso

The "-o" switch (optimize) i love i have 1 gig of files compressed down to 672 megs....**** nice!

BTW: welcome to the forum, i dont think i have closed the page since i found it.

With all the money your saving on software you can afford to mess up a few DVD's

Not sure but I think the last line is wrong.

Get VMware or MS Virtual PC to test your images before you burn them.

thanks guys

and lol@nemesis....

So i got VirtualPC like you guys recommended, but im a bit confused. How do I actually install the image i made, onto the virtual disk?

oh, and thanks for tthe heads up on that Office2003 entry.... looks like I forgotto move the alcohol entry

Thanks,

Make your XP CD/DVD an ISO Image. Use winiso or cdimage or some app to make your XP CD/DVD a bootable ISO image file.

Run virtual machine and create a virtual machine if you haven't already(there's a wizard for this and its self explanitory I think so I wont explain).

Start the virtual machine and inside the virtual machine window click CD from the top menu (menu has action edit CD etc etc) and select Capture ISO Image then select your XP CD ISO Image file. Then it will probably load and say "Press any key to boot from CD..." so press any key. You might have to reset the virtual machine if you didn't capture your ISO image fast enough the first time.

you could take a DVD R/W like I do.

[Aaragon]

thanks for the help guys, but now i have a new problem. I created the image and tried loading it to the virtual harddisk ..... install goes great( totally unattended) untill it comes time to actually boot into windows. At that point, after the splash screen, it reboots. I let it go like 5 times , all with the same result.

So, i havent been able to get "into" WIndows yet. Any ideas?

THanks,

can u take a screenshot as 2 how far u can get, and what the message is?

sounds like its taking along time (possibly freezing, 2 apply the new changes)

something you have installed has corrupted windows. Boot into safemode and uninstall until you find the problem.

I would start with DirectX 9.0c - its buggy

Well thats just it... there are no error messages.

It actually never boots into windows to start the installation of the apps in my RunOnceEx file so I dont think that any of those apps could be causing the problem.

Perhaps there was some kind of an error when I created the iso. I used cdimage as the guide suggested, maybe something got screwed up. Also, I used slipstream beta to merge SP1 with my original install cd...could that be a problem?

Im gonna keep working on it and if I run across any error messages while installing I take a few screen shots.

THanks,

Aaragon
