rikgale Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Hi noam_moshe and welcomeYou need to create this folder yourself in the root of your UACD. i.e. put it in the same folder as your i386 is in. And then you have to create all the sub folders yourself like in the diagram in the guide.Hope this helps a little Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noam_moshe Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 AHAAAAAAA!Thanks man...Lol.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cartoonite Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 (edited) The $OEM$ folder does not exist on a default Windows XP CD. You will have to create it. It goes at the root of the CD, like so:\--I386\-----(Windows files/folders here) --$OEM$\-----(Your OEM files/folders here)--SUPPORT\-----(Support Tools)--VALUEADD\-----(Value added software)Hope this helps.Edit: Yeah, what rikgale said. That's what I get for doing this at work and taking 20 minutes to type a reply. Edited June 5, 2005 by Cartoonite Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rikgale Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 If you want to save a bit of space, you can delete the ValueADD and Support folders, unless you need anything specific from them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rikgale Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 You should be able to delete these folders when you setup your CD from Nlite. That is assuming that you are using Nlite. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noam_moshe Posted June 5, 2005 Author Share Posted June 5, 2005 Where i'm found this function in nLite ? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rikgale Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 Err... I'll just look.... ok I can't look so I'll go from memory.If I remember right it is in the section where you are removing all the components that you dont want.... Ah sod I'm gonna have to run n;ite now as can't remember the name of the section.Got it. It's under the 'remove components' section right at the bottom. You can safely remove all three folders that are there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cartoonite Posted June 5, 2005 Share Posted June 5, 2005 There is nothing that gets installed by default. If you are not purposely installing something from these folders, you can likely delete them safely.I personally chose to keep them just in case I should find a use for them.
