Thanks mate, that worked. Should the KB###### and Q###### stay out of the i386 directory? Or should I put them back in?

I'm now creating a SIF file. I've completed it using SetupMgr, but it says you can be more precise (choosing what components to install), so I want to do that. I found this list.

I don't know what half of these mean/do. Has anyone created a guide that says which of these components are nessecities, and thoroughly explains each component that I've listed above?

I created a XP boot disc using just nLite.

I now want to test it, by using a Virtual Machine.

If my disc has an error on it, is there any way, by testing it on a virtual machine, that it could do any damage to my current setup?

[RyanVM]

The whole idea behind a virtual machine is to not harm your system...they'd be kinda pointless otherwise.

[David56]

Okay. I want to test it on a VirtualMachine now. Microsoft VirtualPC 2004 doesen't work with XP Home, and VMWare Workstation requires registration, which I keep doing but I always get a 'Store Error'

Is VMWare Workstation hosted elsewhere?

Or is there any reliable alternate Virtual Machine software?

[Hamins]

OEM stands for Original Equipment Manufacturer (Such as Dell).

I'm not too sure if slipstreaming works with OEM version of WinXP

[oioldman]

YOur question for the meanings to all components within the winnt.sif file lie within the ref.chem file which is a help file found in the XP Support tools file. This can be downloaded form Microsoft.com/downloads
