Creating Win XP bootable CD

[QwertyManiac]

My disk installs XP smoothly without any missing files/hitches. But when I try to copy its files to the HDD for slipstreaming, it gives a cant read @ 50:22:32 onwards. I tried all ways of copying it (iso, nrg etcc...)but still no use, can anyone help? or do I need to use another disk

AAdipa,

thanks for so good thread.
i had made one . But while running with Virtual machine it is telling that the cd key is wrong! While i am giving the same cd key of the xp cd.
Any clue?????????

 

[aadipa]

hmmm... CD Key wrong.. try to contact Microsoft.
Make sure you are not using pirated version of XP

 

[H.Lalnunmawia]

Thanks for this good tutorial. Now I have no problem creating a bootable xp installation cd. But I would like to know what unnecessary components, drivers, etc could be removed throgh nlite if I am going to use a standalone pc? For eg. I need tv tuner/capture card,multimedia, mobile application, internet, camera, printers, scanner etc but no network like LAN or WAN.

thankx @aadipa
But got a problem, after installation i got some files missing in system32 folder. files which I missed all had their names starting with letter "s".

 

[upendra_gp]

site of nLite is changed
now
www.nliteos.com
Also Vista can now be minimized by vLite
*www.vlite.net/

And to avoid any issues with Ryan's pack use RyanVM Integrator available at ryan's site.

Just copyting all files from one CD to another doesn't make it bootable. You need to burn it as bootable disk and provide a proper boot loader while burning a disk.

If you already have a bootable CD, better to do a Disk-To-Disk Copy instead if copying all files.

Also there are some programs/techniques (like hex editing ISO to hide CD-Shell files) which can hide parts of CD from its file system. These parts can be used only while booting and will not be retrivable from windows. Only a Disk-To-Disk copying will ensure a proper bootable disk.

EDIT:
Sorry I didn't read that you are indeed burning an ISO image. Have you burned it as an image? Or did u burn it as a simple file? If your CD shows iso file on it then it is wrong. You should burn ISO file as CD Image. You can also mount the ISO file on virtual drives under windows using software like 'Daemon Tools' or 'Alcohol 120%'. Then if you have Virtualization software like VMWare or Microsoft Virtual PC you can test the file if it is bootable or not. (These softwares supports direct loading of ISO file too.)

Here is my contribution to this thread

Integrate software into your Win install CD:

The addons are programs for your Windows installation.
Integrate them as hotfixes with nLite and they will be silently installed during Windows setup

What You Need:
- nLite
- .Net Framework 2.0
- Windows CD

Duration:
The whole procedure takes from 5 to 20 minutes (burning of the CD included).

How To Do It:
1. Copy the content of your Windows install CD to your hard drive.
2. Watch the video (~2 mins, 1MB), after that burn the created ISO either with Nero or with nLite's integrated burner.

Download VIDEO HowTo: RogePost or GigaSize (1,2MB)


Here is the list of all addons for nLite that I have created
last updated: 07/03/2007

NONE of these addons contain spyware, toolbars or other annoyances
Most of them are freeware.

hi i tried to include softwares such as jet audio and win rar by including them as hotfixes. but i didnt get them in my bootable cd. but i ve seen a xp cd which has softwares such as photoshop n dreamweaver. how is this done?

there are many ways of doing that atleast 4-5!
But for newbies the best way is to use software like UnattendXP by Maxxpsoft or batch script.

[extreme_heart888]

First of all thx aadipa for posting this tut. Its very helpful..


Now, about the task at hand...


I integrated sp2 to a winxp pro source though nLite in the posted method, and tried the iso image in the VPC. The installation was smooth and was error free.

Then i integrated the hotfixes from RVMUpdatePack and created another iso . I must mention that i did'nt play with other options till now as i had to test this iso for errorfree installation.

The formating and copying process went well. When the system restarted, i got an error in the GUI part if installation. It said that some of the files were missing and the installation is aborted.It asked for the location were sp2 was installed. I have included all the errors i got. Hope u can find the solution where i went wrong. And to make sure, i must inform u that the winxp sp2 without hotfixes(1st iso) ran VERY Well
