jaclaz Posted June 7, 2007 Share Posted June 7, 2007 Well, nlite should take care of that, unless you have deleted or cannot locate the files downloaded, in which case you'll have to make a list of the files you have and re-download them.http://support.microsoft.com/kb/884786/en-usDid you actually read the guide for nlite? It is right there (near the bottom of the page):http://www.nliteos.com/guide/part1.htmlHowever, there is no NEED for the repair install to work to have ALL updates current, the only strongly suggested ones are having same SP level, and then let Windows Update do it's work, read this should it not start working after the Repair:http://support.microsoft.com/kb/555615/en-usObviously, if we are talking of the "other" CD, the UNATTENDED one, the more updates are on the CD the best it is, a VERY convenient method is this one (RyanVM's update pack):http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/updatepack.html jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RaGhul Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 (edited) Obviously, if we are talking of the "other" CD, the UNATTENDED one, the more updates are on the CD the best it is, a VERY convenient method is this one (RyanVM's update pack):http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/updatepack.htmlI'm surprised you didn't mention this in the very first post.Another thing (that is, if I'm understanding correctly what src2206 is trying to do):Shouldn't the first step be to take the old 40gb hard drive and place it in the new machine to see if there are any conflicts? If it boots up just fine, then all he would have to do is clone it and maybe install a couple drivers.And what about just using the File and Settings Transfer Wizard?

jaclaz Posted June 8, 2007 Share Posted June 8, 2007 I'm surprised you didn't mention this in the very first post.I'm really sorry to have caused you such an inconvenience, I'll try my best not to repeat this error, which may have potentially surprised a large number of people, to which I extend my apologies. Hey, wait, why didn't you say so right after my first post? I am surprised you were so late, so I guess it's a 1-1 tie.If it boots up just fine, then all he would have to do is clone it and maybe install a couple drivers.Yep, and what if it does not and, by any chance, a conflict between drivers arise?There is the concrete possibility to have a hard disk that does not boot on EITHER system. The recommended way is to always have an IMAGE of the hard disk, should anything go the wrong way, you re-IMAGE the drive and start anew, otherwise NEVER attempt booting a HD with XP on it on another machine.jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaclaz Posted June 10, 2007 Share Posted June 10, 2007 No prob, mate. Though of course the "real" credit has to go to Nuhi and RyanVM for their great work. jaclaz Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
