  1. I got it to install on my Gigabyte Z87X-OC Force mobo with a 4790K in ACPI-MP mode by disabling the serial port in the BIOS but there is another problem: the mobo has a PLX chip that is used for all the red PCI-E slots, the (re)installation of the chipset drivers doesn't fix the error which is found in device manager: the device cannot start because it cannot find resources for it to use, have to disable other device to enable it this error is shown on the "Intel(R) Xeon E3-....PCI Express x16..." "device" but it doesn't say what other device - so I search manually the IRQ/MEM/IO addresses of each of the devices in the system category in device manager: found only one device that has overlapping addresses with it is the "PCI Bus", so I try to disable "PCI Bus", try to install the "Intel(R) Xeon E3-....PCI Express x16..." driver on the "PCI bus" device, try to use alternate driver on "Intel(R) Xeon E3-....PCI Express x16..." device later I find that "Intel(R) Xeon E3-....PCI Express x16..." is sitting on top of "PCI Bus" so the addresses are supposed to overlap ? my video card and network card are on the PLX chip and I don't see them in device manager, it's funny that there is no "VGA compatible comtroller" in device manager and the system works fine otherwise -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I looked into my XP x64 installation and found out I have conflict between the PCI-E PLX chip and VgaSave driver here is what I tried: 1. switch to IGPU as display device while the cards are connected and use the IGPU as boot display device 2. install drivers (nvw2k35306.cab) for both other cards (successful) (tried also nvw2k35906.zip, nvw2k35560.cab - they both give error "cannot load driver for device") 3. switch back to the card as display device (780 Ti) and use it as boot display device 4. it's still conflicts and all the devices connected to the PLX chip are gone from device manager any way to dodge this problem ? I tried to look into the registry see if I could change those conflicting addresses, could not find what I was hoping for (load VgaSave into a different MMIO range). I tried to uninstall VgaSave a couple of times, it screwed 2 installations by BSOD with a followed reboot and no safe mode, I guess no point trying it again :x -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I tried everything, moving the card to another slot, replacing vga.sys with version from windows xp SP0,SP3, a version from windows 2003 SP0, a version from 2000 SP0, tried to replace HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\nv to VgaSave and VgaSave renamed with VgaCompatible set to 0 and 1, tried to change VgaSave Start mode from 1 to 2,3 and 0, tried to enable more devices in BIOS to force it to move MMIO address to another range with no luck here either, tried updated VGA driver videoprt.sys still no luck -------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ok so the story of this problem is that when the system is installed as Standard-PC the conflict does not exist and the system detects the devices but if installed as any of the ACPI options the conflict exists, I tried to change it after installation but this consistently causes INACCESSIBLE_BOOT_DEVICE 0x0000007B BSOD, however before switching from Standard-PC to ACPI-MP and backup the hal.dll of the Standard-PC configuration and rename it to for example hal-std.dll then add a boot.ini option for it as /HAL=hal-std.dll - it becomes possible to enter the system in safe mode, in addition it turns out the problem is not with the PLX chip - the conflict exists also when the cards are connected directly to PCI-E bus that is in the CPU, I tried many different combinations of /HAL and /KERNEL to boot the ACPI-MP mode but all of them failed mostly on the 7B BSOD, I also tried to uninstall and change the "fancy" IDE controller drivers to windows standard drivers but that failed as well, also tried to install the system without integrated chipset drivers but the problem was the same only the name of the conflicting device changed (instead of PCI-E x16 controller it's called PCI-PCI bridge)
  2. is it in any way possible to allow execution of processes that utilize SSE2/3/3.5/4/4.1/4.2/5 instructions to run ? is it possible to add to win2k the functionality ? I think this will require adding to the kernel the ability to save and restore SSE2/3/3.5/4/4.1/4.2/5 registers for processes, and with the recent modifications that allow some NT6 softweare to run then maybe also AVX/AVX2 instructions ?
  3. had a similar problem after manually integrating the DirectX 11 update for Vista, the solution is to boot again from the disc and at the windows setup press Shift+F10 for command prompt then chdir to C:\windows\winsxs and delete the files cleanup.xml and pending.xml, if your windows drive is not mounted use the mountvol command
  4. YE ! my windows 2000 boat is AFLOAT - THANK YOU ALL and blackwingcat ! (and this message is being written on windows 2000 !) I didn't have onboard serial, it turns out that the nLite integration of the drivers was messed up because it was done after the HFSLIP, so I started from scratch and performed the INF and AHCI driver integration before the HFSLIP process - and it worked ! so what is up ? ACPI-PC and ACPI-MP cause the freezing of the setup at "setup is starting windows 2000", MPS-MP causes setup BSOD, after installation changing from Standard-PC to ACPI-MP causes BSOD at boot - all that no surprises and no revelations (and this cannot be fixed in safe mode - it doesn't allow you to enter safe mode at all). so I advice everyone who is planning on building a windows 2000 boat - make sure to integrate storage and INF drivers in nLite before starting the HFSLIP process the good news: - Radeon HD 7950 - thanks to blackwingcat's 13.4 driver works properly (out of the box - as in via device manager manual installation) - network card driver - works properly (out of the box) - but make sure to set your network parameters before the first reboot otherwise you will get "stuckings" - Realtek audio - works properly (out of the box) - hardware accelerated DirectX games work properly (out of the box) - MSI Afterburner 2.3.1 works properly (out of the box) - RivaTuner 2.24 works properly (out of the box) - PAE works and I can access all 32 GB of RAM (but the question remains if the drivers will cooperate, another question is how mutch "golden" memory is used to the "windowing games") - SMB works and I can connect to my samba linux server (out of the box) - CPU temperature is good (no high idle temperatures bug) (and hwinfo 32 works) - hidusbf USB filter driver works and allows to go all the way to 1000 Hz with USB xHCI - need for speed most wanted works very well with all the mods and there are no "stuckings" - and it's FAST, despite the 2 facts that my windows XP x64 SP2 was nLited and only one CPU core is used and this windows 2000 installation was not - this one is MUCH faster a few bugs: - Left 4 Dead works at 85 FPS (when in windows XP x64 SP2 it's at 150 FPS) (maybe for the same reason Race Driver GRID exits - no SSE2 support in the OS) - all websites in firefox are black when display is at 16/32 bit, but works properly when display on 256 colors - Starcraft 2 is stuck at loading screen and eventually crashes - Race Driver GRID says the processor does not support SSE2 instructions and exits
  5. is the Radeon HD 7950 driver works ? I see you have 780 Ti so I guess it work, I will have 780 Ti later, too with ACPI-PC system is stuck in "Setup is starting windows 2000", same with standard-PC and ACPI-MP and MPS-MP I tried all the options in the F5 menu including not using the F5 menu, they all make it stuck at "Starting windows 2000" I have mobo gigabyte Z87X-OC Force with bios 10b I tried to integrate INF and AHCI drivers with nLite but it didn't help, I don't know if the AHCI drivers I am using are effective because my BIOS is configured to use IDE mode and the southbridge is a PCH on this mobo, so the 8.9 driver has no effect on it because it only supports up to ICH10R
  6. blackwingcat, I have been glancing at your work on windows 2000 and I notice how much you invested in it, such dedicated work on supporting windows 2000 makes me want to go nostalgic again. I have a Haswell system and I do like older versions of windows. (right now I am running XP x64) but I am wondering, why would you and the community that is focused around the project would invest in such a great undertaking ? what are the reasons and motivations to support and develop this platform ? what are the benefits from running windows 2000 ? why isn't it easier to run windows 2003 ? with native x64 and multi-processor support out of the box ? what makes windows 2000 so special that justifies all the work that was invested in it ? I am willing (and able) to find out for myself (I don't use USB3 and have my own added network card already), is there a big patch I can download with all the modifications you and people that worked on it with you and apply it onto an ISO of windows 2000 ?
  7. not using and never have used sysprep, I would like to know how, but the instructions that were provided for SP1 integration weren't clear enough for me, I simply gave up on service packs and updates to get vlite working, i don't need them how small did you manage to get your installation ? you have any suggestions for me, maybe some batch I could try to remove more ?
  8. I've successfully combined four deletion procedures on 7 Ultimate RTM x64, reduced the size of the installation to 1.73 GB: 0. create a virtual machine with a standard 7 ultimate x64 RTM install (I recommend virtualbox), install the vista WAIK on it (6001.18000.080118-1840-kb3aikl_en.iso) and vlite 1.2 (install 1.1.6 as well if you want to save the wimfltr) 1. Guest(VM): run 7xtreme64, do the DISM removal (as per the instructions in the xtreme64 manual!): "mount.bat", "removal.bat", "commit.bat" (don't forget to copy the sources\setup.exe to sources\setup.exe at destination afterwards) 2. Guest(VM): save the boot.wim separately < Updated: this may not be necessary if you choose rebuild all images with rt7lite 3. HOST(PM): use the removal.bat image as input to rt7lite 2.6.0 beta, make sure not to remove winsxs in rt7lite 2.6.0 beta, otherwise anything goes, I will attach a config (inf) to get you started 4. HOST(PM): copy the boot.wim that was previously saved and replace the old < Updated: this may not be necessary if you choose rebuild all images with rt7lite 5. Guest(VM): use the output from rt7lite 2.6.0 beta (with the original boot.wim < (Updated: this may not be necessary if you choose rebuild all images with rt7lite)) as input to vlite 1.2 (vlite 1.2 causes problems with the boot.wim that rt7lite 2.6.0 beta creates, that's why it is necessary to make sure that before vlite 1.2 process is started, the correct boot.wim is present 6. before you make ISO in vlite 1.2, make sure you delete everything from sources except setup.exe, boot.wim and install.wim 7. VM: optionally do steps 14 through 17 of the 7xtreme64 guide (cleanup.bat) to save an extra 0.03 GB (it will have many errors but it will install fine) 8. VM: optionally apply dead0's bat (removex64.bat) by: performing 7xtreme64's mount, copy the bat into the mountdir (preferably in an "Administrator:" cmd prompt, run it from the mountdir (also in an "Administrator:" cmd prompt, like: "D:\s2>copy vboxsrv\\share\\removex64.bat .") 9. VM: optionally apply dead0's SP1 bat (batch7x64sp1.bat) (copy into the mountdir), when finished delete the bat and do "commit.bat", load the directory in vlite 1.2 and create an ISO 10. if you get installation errors "windows setup could not configure windows to run on this computer's hardware" or "Windows could not complete the installation, to install windows on this computer, restart the installation" do this: 10.1 press shift+F10 10.2 cd oobe 10.3 msoobe <- wait for it to finish 10.4 audit 10.5 it's safe to press ok on all queries, it should reboot and you should get your system booted at last a simple rule to help you know on which system to run the operation is: just remember to perform vista WAIK operations on the VM (vlite and 7xtreme64) where the vista WAIK is installed, and the rt7lite 2.6.0 beta operations on the host machine where a different version of imaging driver is installed the flow of images should look something like this: 7xtreme64's removal up to step 11 (including)>rt7lite 2.6.0 beta ([almost]whatever you want except winsxs)>vlite 1.2>ISO there are 3 problems with this preset for rt7lite: sysdm.cpl not available solved by not removing System Properties in System category of rt7lite network connections not accessible < solved: enable netman (Network Connections) without depending on nsi (Network Store Interface Service): navigate the registry editor to: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\services\Netman open the DependOnService value and delete all entries except RpcSs reboot the system if you are using any programs that require the DHCP Client service (such as Tunngle), this method cannot be applied to it, the DHCP Client service will complain about no more endpoints can't load the driver of Plug and Play software device enumerator in device manager, preventing sound card drivers from being installed < solved by not removing Drivers/Media Managers/Microsoft Media Manager in rt7lite 2.6.0 beta, the Drivers\System\High Definition Audio Bus Driver and Drivers\Media Managers\Audio\WDM Audio Drivers may also be necessary for audio to function also, you can disable User Account Control without using the GUI: (because the vlite preset deleted access to the UAC GUI) Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\System] "EnableLUA"=dword:00000000 "ConsentPromptBehaviorAdmin"=dword:00000000 now I am removing drivers to reduce size of kernel code, this is a list of drivers from system32\drivers: NOTE: deleting the drivers is a manual process, those files cannot be seen by cmd.exe, you may have to take ownership and give full access to the "drivers" directory required for FAT32 access ?

  9. nice tool, thanks, not all that big when it comes to removal but it leaves a fully functional image even with everything removed, it's an extra weapon in the arsenal I have made some progress making a lite RTM version, got it down to about 4GB so far, vlite 1.2 doesn't work for me so I am using 1.1.6 which is much more functional and stable, with the help of dead0's bat's the winsxs is down to about 1 GB
  10. I am also looking into making a lite 7 x64 sp1, I've already spent a couple of days trying to figure out what method to use and which guide to follow, so far no go, you may have better luck if you give up SP1 and use RTM(SP0), it seems to be better supported in vlite and there appear to be more batch-based removal procedures for RTM than for SP1, they seem to rely on vlite nonetheless, I think the best would be to combine all three extreme batch removal topics (if that is even possible) to make a super-lite 7, I am willing to give up SP1 (and all future SPs) for a super-lite edition, if only I knew for sure that it would work (I suppose I should start with getting at least one of these projects to function xD)
  11. trala I didn't fully understand your process, but if you managed a 250 mb install.wim, that probably puts you in first place, I am on the extreme removal side of things and so far my efforts are only able to produce about 1.3 GB install.wim 7 x64 SP1, that's after a whole process of rt7lite and then vlite 1.2 with almost everything removed in both of them, there can't be that big a difference between SP0 and SP1 can there ? if I give up SP1 and decide to use only SP0 and use both rt7lite and vlite 1.2 on it, will I get 250 MB install.wim ?
  12. I can't see/find the option "component cache (winsxs)" in vlite 1.2, where is it supposed to be ? Isn't it in components menu ?
  13. from the beginning: (is that right ?) 1. install WAIK 1.1 for vista SP1 2. use GimageX as done on post #105 3. use myselfidem's instructions as on post #166 but what components are not removable in vlite ? and how much can be deleted from the 7 installation ? I missed the part that deals with the actual deletion
  14. I think that problem happened because I was using an x86 platform to operate on an x64 vista, when I used an x64 platform it worked fine without making the mentioned directory
  15. the processing takes place and then when it reaches this point (after the counting is finished): the vLite window disappears and that's it, I've tried vLite 1.2 and vLite 1.1.6 Last Session.ini
