I need to make Windows XP SP3. I have Windows XP SP2 and I want to add SP3, SATA driver and maybe something if someone suggest and I want to remove some programs like movie maker, msn, microsoft frontpage, games................ Where can I find SP3 and download SATA driver for my motherboard asus p5vdc-mx and how tu use. Can someone suggest what to add and what to remove.

[Yzöwl]

SP3 from Microsoft and SATA driver from ASUS or VIA, tutorials and posts are available on this site for the methods used to incorporate them.

download SATA driver for my motherboard asus p5vdc-mx

Read the manual and see what it uses; for nVidia, AMD and Intel there are customized SATA drivers in the sticky topics here http://www.msfn.org/...d-raid-drivers/ http://www.msfn.org/...d-ahci-drivers/ http://www.msfn.org/...ivers-on-an-xp/
EDIT: Looks like you need VIA, which you can get from here http://www.viaarena....80&SubCatID=167

You remove according to your needs; however, there is a topic on what NOT to remove to keep a functional system http://www.msfn.org/...-some-programs/

I always remove MSN, Tour and Out of Box Experience - they take up a lot of space if you want to make a CD, however I also remove them when I make a DVD since I don't need them and want the installation to be fully automated and fast.

DON'T remove OOBE if you have to activate your windows!

Hi Kelsenellenelvian

Yes thats correct unless you have volume licensing edition

in which case you don't have to activate, so he's still correct. But one should not use volume licensing at home anyway.
OEM preactivated versions are more on topic.

1 - Yes
2 - No
Try reading through the Subforum or use SEARCH within the Subforum - see the "Gear" at the top right next to "Search Box"? Click on it. All answers/how-to's have already been covered.

If you mean adding different SATA drivers, you can only do that through DriverPacks. If you add SATA drivers manually through nLite, nLite will integrate all, but use the last one added.

How to add through DriverPacks. I am beginner in this, I not need super version of win xp SP3 only with SP3 and SATA drivers and maybe and remove something. nlite instructions are too big, what I need study to make win XP SP3.

SATA drivers http://driverpacks.n...s-storage/11.11
The application itself http://driverpacks.n...ications/latest
Help with DriverPacks http://driverpacks.n...uide-windows-xp

The most important thing: first run nLite, then DriverPacks.

Cheers
