wognum Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 Well, nLite says my Windows XP installation just got 300 mb smaller. However, when i open explorer, and right-click in on the WINNT dir -> Properties, it looks like my WinXP got slightly bigger..?how is this possible?

Scrapple Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 ....????Wasn't nLite meant to make a original XP cd "smaller" or adapt (i.e. integrate stuff, remove components, etc....)I'm not sure, but I don't think it will work on an already installed system, which you actually seem to try.BTW 1.16 -> 1.19GB is 30 MB, not 300MB.

eyeball Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 maybe you should read the unattended guide to get an understanding of how to create an unattended cd, what nlite does is basically make this process a whole lot easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
saugatak Posted January 31, 2006 Share Posted January 31, 2006 ROFLMAO. Take your WinXP CD and copy i386 directory on to your hard drive and then use nLite to integrate SP2 and post-SP2 hotfixes and then remove stuff you don't like.I'd also recommend using HFSLIP which I like better than nLite to integrate latest hotfixes into your nLited CD.Just click on HFSLIP logo on my signature to find out.You should also read the excellent instructions. You'll find 'em at nliteos.com. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wognum Posted January 31, 2006 Author Share Posted January 31, 2006 (edited) okay! so basically this program was made to create a winxp setup cd... i thought i could strip down winxp ;(well this nlite is quite useless to me since i still dont have a cd-rom-burning-thing Edited January 31, 2006 by wognum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
