g3ppb Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 I have built the image for Windows XP Pro + SP2 + updates up to & including Februaty 2006 using the update.cmd batch file kindly provided by IcemanND on Feb 26 2005, 02:58 AM at the link below...http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showto...15entry279415Up to now, no problem fitting the image on 1 bootable CD but now Nero Burning ROM v6.6 reports "too much data". Required is 711 MB and available on disc is 703 MB. Using Datawrite 80 CD-R media.Tried "write overburn disc" in Disc-at-once mode but failure at end of burn.Can anyone suggest best way to reduce the image size, for example, I don't use TabletPC so can I safelydelete this folder? Any other large files? I have not included extras like Windows Media Player 10, etc.I guess I could use a DVD-R if it is not advisable to remove any files. Up to now I have used a CD-RW toupdate the image every few months, but no more ;-(Any suggestions appreciated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

OtherworldBob Posted March 3, 2006 Share Posted March 3, 2006 Also check out THIS if you prefer a more manual method.I haven't used Nlite, and following the directions in the Unattended Guide and RyanVM's site, I've managed to squeeze XP sp2+Updates till now, along with:Ad-AwareAdobe Reader 7CCleanerMozilla FirefoxMSN 7.5MsgPlusNotePad v2QuickTime alternative Real Player alternativeSteam (not the games)Spybot Search & DestroyWinAMP 5.1Windows Media Player 10WinRAR 3.2 .NET Framework 2 and a few custom XP themes.Into an ISO which is 624MB. So, still got some space to spare.Hope this helps - good luck with your CD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drusenija Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Or cheat and just use a DVD ^_~ I've got WinXP + Office2k3 + a ton of software on my DVD, which comes to a total of just under 2.5gb, so a CD is a tad small for what I use it for.(I know that probably isn't the answer you were after, but since DVDs are just as cheap as CDs nowadays, you don't have a cost issue, and as long as you have a drive that can read DVDs you should be okay.)

IcemanND Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 g3ppb - do you have anything else on your cd? I'm using that same script and had no problem burning a cd with so2 and the thirty some updates as of february. Mine comes out to 650mb.But on another note you can also remove docs, support, valueadd from the root of the cd without a problem. And if you don't do upgrades I believe you can remove win9xmig, win9xupg, winntupg from the i386 folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simply_simon Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 Using nLite and RyanVM's updates, it should all fit. In any case, nLite will help you strip a whole lot of stuff that you don't want from your installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
g3ppb Posted March 4, 2006 Author Share Posted March 4, 2006 Thanks to all who replied. First I tried nLite after installing the whopping .NET Framework 2 ;-(Started OK but after SP2 update, I selected the KB885835 update first which generated the warningmessage that there was an earlier update. So I selected the first after SP2 (KB87 3333) and it still issued the warning. I guess you can't use the numerical KB order...also it is only possible to select one at a time. Will take forever with 49 updates & trial and error! At that point I uninstalled it along with .NET Framework.I started fresh using the IcemanND script, and ended up with 730,936,843 bytes.I then then deleted the stuff mentioned here but leaving the LANG folder... http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/57/Now I have 537,724,206 so no problems burning to a CD.I have 49 updates including SP2. I have removed those (that I know of) that have been superseded by subsequent updates (cumulative for IE6), but I have probably got more than I need. M$ is not always clear in its KB articles when previous updates can be removed. My list up to Feb 14, 2006 is below.KB83 5935 XP SP2 Final build 2180 signed off August 6, 2004 KB87 3333 Vulnerability in OLE and COM could allow remote code executionKB87 3339 Vulnerability in HyperTerminal could allow code executionKB88 4020 IP loopback address problem, other than 127.0.0.1KB88 5250 Vulnerability in server message block could allow remote code executionKB88 5835 Vulnerabilities in Windows Kernel and LSASS could allow elevation of privilege. 1ST AFTER SP2KB88 5836 Vulnerability in WordPad could allow code executionKB88 5884 Critical Update for Office XP on Windows XP SP2KB88 6185 critical update for Windows Firewall "My Network (subnet) only" scoping in SP2KB88 7472 security update to Microsoft Windows Messenger v4.7 & v5.0KB88 7742 Stop 0x05 (INVALID_PROCESS_ATTACH_ATTEMPT) error in SP2KB88 7797 cumulative update for Outlook ExpressKB88 8113 Vulnerability in Hyperlink Object Library could allow remote code execution KB89 0046 Vulnerability in Microsoft agent could allow spoofingKB89 0047 Vulnerability in Windows shell could allow remote code executionKB89 0175 Vulnerability in HTML Help could allow code executionKB89 0859 Vulnerabilities in Windows kernel could allow elevation of privilege and DoSKB89 1781 Vulnerability in the DHTML editing component ActiveX controlKB89 3066 Vulnerabilities in TCP/IP could allow remote code execution and DoSKB89 3086 Vulnerability in Windows Shell that could allow remote code executionKB89 3756 a Vulnerability in the Telephony Application Programming Interface (TAPI)KB89 3803 Windows Installer 3.1KB89 4391 DBCS attachment file names are not displayed in Rich Text e-mail messages KB89 6358 Vulnerability in HTML Help could allow remote code executionKB89 6422 Vulnerability in Server Message Block could allow remote code executionKB89 6423 a Vulnerability in the Print Spooler service KB89 6424 c Vulnerabilities in Graphics Rendering Engine Could Allow Code ExecutionKB89 6428 Vulnerability in Telnet client could allow information disclosureKB89 8461 Package Installer for Windows version 6.1.22.4KB89 9587 a Vulnerabilities in Kerberos could allow DoS, information disclosure, and spoofingKB89 9588 a Vulnerability in the Plug and Play serviceKB89 9589 b Vulnerability in the Client Service for NetWare could allow remote code executionKB89 9591 a Vulnerability in the Remote Desktop Protocol (RDP)KB90 0725 b Vulnerabilities in the Windows shell could allow for remote code executionKB90 0930 Outlook Express 6.0 issues : begin in subject line; newsgroup threadsKB90 1017 b Vulnerability in the Microsoft Collaboration Data Objects could allow code executionKB90 1214 Vulnerability in Microsoft Color Management Module KB90 2400 b Vulnerabilities in MS DTC and COM+ could allow remote code executionKB90 4706 b Vulnerability in DirectShow could allow remote code executionKB90 5414 b Vulnerability in Network Connection Manager could allow denial of serviceKB90 5749 b Vulnerability in Plug & Play could allow remote code execution & local elevation of privilegeKB90 5915 e Cumulative Security Update for Internet Explorer for Windows XPKB90 8519 g Vulnerability in Embedded Web Fonts Could Allow Remote Code ExecutionKB91 0437 e Fixes Access Violation error in Windows Update and Automatic UpdatesKB91 1564 h Windows Media Player security update for non IE browsersKB91 1565 h Windows Media Player security updateKB91 1927 h Vulnerability in Web ClientKB91 2919 f Vulnerability in graphics rendering engine (wmf files) could allow remote code executionKB91 3446 h Vulnerability in TCP/IP could allow Denial of Service attackTotal 49 filesdates releaseda - 9Aug05 b - 11Oct05 c - 8Nov05 d - 26Nov05 e - 13Dec05 f - 6Jan06g - 10Jan06 h - 14Feb06OK I can see some unnecessary updates but better to be safe than sorry.

RyanVM Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 My update pack would make your life much easier Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
simply_simon Posted March 4, 2006 Share Posted March 4, 2006 (edited) I'll vouch for that! The update pack along with nLite will save you tons of extra headaches. Not only that, but the updates are slipstreamed with the installation.In addition, .NET Framework 2 is now an integral part of my unattended installation. So it's there when I need it. It's wothwhile putting that on your CD too! Edited March 4, 2006 by simply_simon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
IcemanND Posted March 5, 2006 Share Posted March 5, 2006 I've got 44. And only end up with the Malicious software removal tool, .NET, WMP10 & updates.
