Super XP 7

[somps]

Hi, I'm new to this forum. I'm not sure if this site is related to NLite or not, but that's how I got here.

I have seen a CD that was made as a custom Window XP Pro CD. I don't know how to contact the creator of the CD. I'm very new at this "Unattended" install stuff. The CD booted with 4 choices. One was complete setup. The installation looked like a normal Windows XP install, but after it finished and rebooted, it had like 7 or 8 programs installed and usable. I didn't see any secondary setup of any kind. Just wondering if I can do something like this.

I saw something about Super XP 7 on the initial boot screen.

At my work, I get a toshiba, IBM, or Dell in and they are different models. We have standard software that goes on all of these computers. Am I able to create a CD that, basically, I can boot from the CD and walk away, come back, and everything is loaded including software?

I have Ghost images of the computers that are the same model, but every now and then, I need to do a new install.

Any ideas?

Much appreciated.

Thats because it is warez and is totally illegal. You need a clean untouched copy of XP, A legal xp serial number and then you can do it. go and read the guide over on http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/

That should get you started

Thank you gamerhead for re-opening.

Scubar, you are saying that Super XP is illegal? If so, I had no idea. I thought it might be something like nLite.

If Super XP is illegal, then forget that part. I don't want to do anything illegal. The CD I was talking about would only be illegal if Super XP is illegal. Its not mine and its not being shared. Its just an installation that I saw and thought "cool".

Past that,

My company owns valid Windows XP Pro. We own or have licensed all of our software apps that we use.

This hasn't got anything to do with warez either.

My other question was answered by gamerhead (thanx), but if you have info about Super XP being illegal, please let me know so I stop asking about it. If not, I just want to know if there is a more powerful tool than nlite? I used it and get a wierd installation from it. I'm not sure where I screwed up.

Cheers.

If it was something that you had downloaded or was being shared around on the internet then yes it would be illegal. There are a few going around where ppl have come on here and said things like "My XP Pro Gold Edition cd isnt working and the program installations are failing" The usual response they get is. Dont download warez [ Topic closed ]

If it was just something that one of your friends may have done for themselves then it would be fine. personally nlite used to be alot easier to use. The new versions explanations arent exactely great and could confuse alot of ppl that are new to the program. i suggest you download the free version of microsoft virtualpc 2004 sp1 and use it for testing all the iso images u create with nlite. that way it will save alot of hassle burning cds and reinstalling all the time.

NLite is only a tool you can use to make your own UACD. It's not mandatory to use it.

There're versions of "Super XP" using Chinese Traditional Win XP SP2 but they're not legit and not related to nLite. Making such an unattended CD by itself is not illegal, as that's what we all do here for our own use, but distributing the CD en masse without licence is illegal.

[somps]

Takeshi, thank you.

Actually, again, this would be legal and for my work with all licenses.

It seems you know about Super XP. Is that just for Chinese Winidows? It was about a year or so ago that I saw it and vaguely remember, but I was so impressed by it. I'm a one man team at my work supporting about 430 people. Gets tough.

I'm going through the Unattend Guide, but if anyone is willing to take me under their wind and help me with this, I would greatley appreciate it. I understand a lot of people get pirated copies, but that isn't what I'm here about; I'm drowning at work and desperately looking for tools to make my job easier. I get no training on top of it.

If anyone is willing to walk me through things, I would give you my Messenger or any other online chat connection. You wouldn't believe the number of walls that pop up in my pea size brain when it comes to reading instructions. One reason is I always have a question that would be in between step 1 and step 2 and I hesitate or "get stuck" there until I can understand.

Anyway, just throwing up a Hail Mary.

The versions I'm aware of are made using Chinese Trad XP. It's just a name the author uses. Since that's not legit, I'd rather not say anything more openly. But there's nothing really secretive about the methods used in making it.

We're all on the learning curve somewhere and not understanding something happens to all of us sometimes. You can ask openly in the forum, that's what it's for. Many questions have been asked before, so search too.

Thank you for your response. Since it is not legit, I won't persue it any more, but I would like to pursue the legit way of making the best CD/DVD that I can. If anyone has fresh ideas and such, feel free to message me. I appreciate all the responses and help. At least I know which way to go and which way not to go.

Thank you MODS for allowing this thread. Without it, I may have been looking for something I didn't want to find. Now I have info and can search for other kinds of help here.

Again, Thanks to everyone and I will try to do my part in the forums if I can on those things I know.
