03GrandAmGT Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 You can either copy your XP cd to a local hard drive or use this method..http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/3/jd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_lazer Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 Thanks! Except that my PC is a Dell and doesn't come with a Windows CD . Is there anything else that I can do? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
newsposter Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 you can contact dell and order the correct install media instead of the 'recovery cd' they ship. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hulkviper Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Just download the correct version, nothing illegal about that.If you have WinXP Home OEM then you can use any Home OEM.You have to also check your CD Keytry thishttp://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
laurens Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 Look in your Windows folder, normaly there is a folder called "I386". This is the folder that you need. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_lazer Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 Is it the one in C: or in C:/windows? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted December 31, 2006 Share Posted December 31, 2006 C:\I386 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_lazer Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 One more question, do you need the file 'win51ic' for a bootable cd? What if the I386 folder tops 700 MB? can you make a bootable DVD? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sir_lazer Posted December 31, 2006 Author Share Posted December 31, 2006 One more thing: when I tried to install windows through the boot cd, it prompted me to install Service Pack 2 through a floppy drive. The thing is, I don't have a drive A. Is there a workaround for this problem? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeremy Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 Slipstream SP2 into your source with nLite... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MGadAllah Posted January 1, 2007 Share Posted January 1, 2007 and you can integrate many other things with nLite, try RyanVM files in my signature (it contains all updates released next SP2)Good luck Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sir_lazer Posted January 1, 2007 Author Share Posted January 1, 2007 I'm using XP home with service pack 2, and by pure install file I assume that you mean it's not been touched or tampered with, so yes to that also. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
