wickerwolf Posted April 20, 2006 Author Share Posted April 20, 2006 (edited) hi, i used nlite to copy my origanal xp cd to a folder on my pc then to slipstream sp2 into it and then to slip stream hotfixes into it thats all i used nlite for and thenon the main site in advanced it has 'Folders considered safe to delete in your Windows Setup Source are:DOCS, VALUEADD, and SUPPORT. This will free up 22.3 MB or so. Let's go in further by navigating to the I386 directory with your Windows Setup Source. If you don't plan to use this CD to upgrade from a previous OS, you can delete the following folders:WIN9XMIG, WIN9XUPG and WINNTUPG. This will free up 37.6 MB'so i removed those from it and ive added Bâshrat the Sneaky's DriverPacks to itok i changed a line in my wpi.cmd file and tried again it loads wpi at first logon but when i click to install something i get the error message 'carnt find file' or sumthin along those lines but in my wpi config all the cmd lines are corect, ill copy and paste them here winnt.sif file";SetupMgrTag[Data] MsDosInitiated = "No" AutoPartition=0 UnattendedInstall="Yes"[unattended] OemPreinstall = "Yes" UnattendMode=FullUnattended OemSkipEula=Yes TargetPath=\WINDOWS FileSystem=* UnattendSwitch="yes"[GuiUnattended] AdminPassword=* EncryptedAdminPassword=NO OEMSkipRegional=1 AutoLogon = Yes TimeZone=85 OemSkipWelcome=1[userData] FullName="Wicker_Wolf" OrgName="" ComputerName=Home[Display] Xresolution=800 YResolution=600[TapiLocation] CountryCode=44[RegionalSettings] LanguageGroup=2,12,7,8,10,11,9,1[identification] JoinWorkgroup=WORKGROUP[Networking] InstallDefaultComponents=Yes[Components] msmsgs=off msnexplr=off minesweeper=off hearts=off freecell=off pinball=off solitaire=off spider=off zonegames=off[shell]CustomDefaultThemeFile = "%WinDir%\Themes\dynamo.theme"[GuiRunOnce] Command0="%SystemDrive%\D\BTS_DPs_finish.cmd" Command1="%Systemroot%\system32\wpi.cmd" Command2="%systemroot%\system32\codecs.cmd" "wpi.cmd"@ECHO OFFREM Example, how to look for CDROM-drive.
