Aaron Posted October 14, 2003 Share Posted October 14, 2003 don't use that, it causes file copy errors in text-mode setup... but since you use a method that skips that part completely then it probably doesn't matter?Here's the syntax I use, it doesn't force all files/folders to go into UPPERCASE:CDIMAGE.EXE -lWXPFPP_EN -t12/31/2002,12:00:00 -h -j1 -m -bxpboot.img C:\XPCD C:\WXPFPP_EN.ISO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gamehead200 Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 OK...gosh, this menu of yours works great! I made a CD that installs XP, but also has a utility to change or blank passwords...It was mentioned on "The Screen Savers" on TechTV...If anyone wants it, go here: http://home.eunet.no/~pnordahl/ntpasswd/Very useful utility! Pick the floppy version because it is a BIN file...Works great! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XtaC Posted October 15, 2003 Share Posted October 15, 2003 hey gosh, great explanation and process...haven't tried it yet, but i will soon...just out of curiousity...can't you just copy the winnt32.exe file to the i386 folder and then at some point during the setup, or after it si done, run the winnt32 /cmdcons and let it install the recovery console for you so you have a boot menu with xp and the recovery console there?. i run my system at home like this and it is very handy. no need to find a cd and boot from it when your system goes weird...just boot and pick the recovery console option.just curious if there is a way to make this work...thanksxtac Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosh Posted October 15, 2003 Author Share Posted October 15, 2003 No, it'll say files are missing. You can spend an hour trying to find each file xp setup needs, but i gave up on that.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sandman_qc Posted October 16, 2003 Share Posted October 16, 2003 I have a couple of quick questions to ask. Btw, huge thx to Aaron and Gosh for those tutorials. Even a noob like me was able to make a unattended XP cd... Wich is quite remarkable since I never did a batch file in my life before that...Ok! Here goes: I just slipstreamed the new rollup like Aaron showed and it's working a-1.Now, I would like to do the "slimfast" trick on my cd and then add the other hotfixes and some appz. I would like to know if I proceed like this (just to be sure):1) Reduce the size of my "new" rollup CD with Gosh method.2) Then make a $oem$ folder with some other hotfixes and appz, creating a new winnt.sif file in the process, but without touching the dosnet.inf this time.Is this correct?Thx!

gosh Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 @ BeppeXP/2k/2003 have hidden settings for Encryption and System file protection. You could put the value as such in your unattend file:[systemFileProtection]SFCQuota=0SFCDisable=ffffff9dThat disables simple file sharing and doesn't make a dllcache folder-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gosh Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 So far i've shown how to reduce size of i386 folder, make a multi-os cd, and include xp and winpe on the same cd here. The steps i've already shown can be applied to make much more fancy, and complicated cd's. Let's take the cd process further and make a cd with:winxp homewinxp prowin2k pro sp2win2k server sp2win2k advserver sp2(and win2k datacenter if it really makes you happy)Back when xp came out i made a cd called XP2K that had all these os' on a 700 meg cd, all unattended. These instructions can be applied to the latest service packs, but when i originally made the cd i used the original versions of xp and win2k with sp2 slipstreamed.First, follow my previous directions to make a cd with XP Pro on it. You should have VOLx folders for the boot files, and XP in the WinXPPro folder. On the root of the cd should be the ident files - win51, win51ip, win51ic, etc.Next, we're gonna add xp home to the cd. Follow the same directions to put xp home on the cd.1 - run winnt32.exe /noreboot, and make sure under Advanced Options "make local source" is checked or grayed out.2 - rename c:\$Win_NT$.~LS\ to c:\XPHome3 - rename the c:\$Win_NT$.~bt\ folder to HOM14 - delete the size.sif file in the XPHome folder5 - Hex c:\HOM1\setupldr.bin, replace i386 with HOM1 (all capital letters) 4 times 6 - Edit c:\HOM1\txtsetup.sif and change SetupSourcePath to \XPHome\SetupSourcePath = "\XPHome\"7 - Delete any unneeded files in the c:\HOM1\ folder such as winnt.sif, migrate.inf, bootsect.dat. If you want to do an unattended install, put your unattend file as winnt.sif into the c:\HOM1\ folder8 - Now make the boot sector. If you still have VOL1.DAT copy it as HOM1.DAT, and hex it and change VOL1 to HOM1, such as:SETUPLDR.BINBOOTFIX.BINHOM1Now let's copy the c:\XPHome and c:\HOM1 folders to our xp install source. On our cd now we should have the following folders:HOM1VOL1VOL2 (optional)VOL3 (optional)WinXPProXPHomeNow we're gonna add win2k to the cd. Follow the 8 steps above for win2k pro, win2k server, win2k adv server. Just replace XPHome and HOM1 with the following table:Rename the c:\$WIN_NT$\~LS\ folder to the following:win2k pro = Win2kProwin2k serv = Win2kSrvwin2k adv srv = Win2kAdsRename the c:\$WIN_NT$\~BT\ folder to the following:win2k pro = PRO1, PRO2, PRO3, etcwin2k serv = SRV1, SRV2, SRV3, etcwin2k adv srv = ADS1, ADS2, ADS3, etcSo now your cd should have the following folders:PRO1SRV1ADS1HOM1VOL1VOL2 (optional)VOL3 (optional)WinXPProXPHomeWin2kProWin2kSrvWin2kAdsNow we need to add the cd idents and other files. On the root of the cd, make sure you have the following:WIN51WIN51IPWIN51ICWIN51IP.SP1 (only if using sp1)WIN51IC.SP1 (only if using sp1)SPNOTES.HTMCDROM_IA.5CDROM_IP.5CDROM_IS.5CDROM_NT.5CDROMSP2.TSTDISKEMU.CMDLOADER.BINDISKEM1X.BINDELOAD.BINVOL1.DATVOL2.DAT (optional)VOL3.DAT (optional)HOM1.DATPRO1.DATSRV1.DATADS1.DATNow copy the following files to the XPHome, WinXPPro, Win2kPro, Win2kSrv, Win2kAds folders:WIN51WIN51IPWIN51ICWIN51IP.SP1 (only if using sp1)WIN51IC.SP1 (only if using sp1)SPNOTES.HTMCDROM_IA.5CDROM_IP.5CDROM_IS.5CDROM_NT.5CDROMSP2.TSTThat's it. You now have a bootable cd with xp home, xp pro, win2k pro, win2k server, win2k adv server. You should have around 40 megs to add other stuff such as software.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Denney Posted October 17, 2003 Share Posted October 17, 2003 When trying to run this:winnt32.exe /norebootfrom the Windows 2000 CD, I get an error saying that I cannot install from this version of Windows (Windows XP Professional).Is there a way around this or must I install Windows 98 or something like that so I can install?

gosh Posted October 17, 2003 Author Share Posted October 17, 2003 Install the XP Application Compatibily toolkit 3.0. It'll let you disable that.http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=enJust download and install it. Open it up and where it says win2k, just disable it.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
