Railman5 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 Ok.I have now followed the unattended XP guide and have created a slipstream folder for my win2k with sp4 and SVCPACK hotfixes. I have installed the VirtualPC for testing.Rather than burn another CD disk I want to use the virtualpc to test my slipstream files.How do I create an ISO? file? to do this with the folder of Files I now have?the guide is not very clear on this.

Railman5 Posted July 1, 2005 Author Share Posted July 1, 2005 Ok I worked out to download CDIIMAGE GUI to create an ISO image. I am using this image to use virtual pc but it is asking for disk 2 insert into a drive?????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheeBeets Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 Why not just use nLite? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Railman5 Posted July 2, 2005 Author Share Posted July 2, 2005 Am trying to avoid using NLite 'cos I want to do it the manual way like in the unattended guide. Do you think that I would be better trying NLite to create an ISO? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BrandonS_Mil Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 YES, USE NLITE !!!!!!!!!!It will automate the process, make it faster............then if you need more programs added, then add manually. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BrandonS_Mil Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 NO, Use VPC as a new computer.... Only have a stored image(ISO) if you need it... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maelstorm Posted July 2, 2005 Share Posted July 2, 2005 I create my ISOs using a series of batch files to copy the files over to a temp directory and have CDIMAGE build the ISO. You can get CDIMAGE.EXE from the CDIMAGE GUI package. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
