Hi,
I received fm friend of mine Vista img with already integrated SP1 but it contains integrated drivers for his pc and some small customizations (oemlogo, etc) - in $OEM$ folder.
I would like to get rid of it - can i just delete from image this $OEM$ folder and Autounattend.xml?
I want to do it with Isobuster - is it safe?
Thanks!

It all depends, the OEM folder might include the activation or any other files that installs after the installation! If the oem folder is empty it is safe to delete! I think the Autounattend.xml most importantly stores the cd key automatically! The Autounattend.xml is created to the installation dvd when you change settings in the unattended sections using vlite!
