jokoon Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 (edited) There should be some trick I don't know yet : how to not waste a CDR when I rebuild my nLite ISO each time I reinstall, because of the better nLite version.Is there some way to mount an ISO as I would do with Daemon tools, but this time, for installing windows when the computer starts ?I am sure this is a stupid question, or maybe I did not think about an alternative. And I did not search, sorry.Sorry for my poor EnglishThank you for reading ! Edited June 18, 2006 by jokoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Camarade_Tux Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 (edited) Aren't VMs enough ?see http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/20And if you want to install on your computer, you have to use CD-RWs. :/In fact, I think you could maybe use a special AIO CD : it boots, then tries to load an iso or a folder from your harddrive and starts it.See : http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/56/But I hope you have different partitions : one to put the iso on, another one to install windows one. PS: Your English is good and if you want, je peux aussi écrire en français. Edited June 18, 2006 by Camarade_Tux Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Delprat Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 If you don't want to use CD-R nor CD-RW, simply don't make an ISO.You'll need to keep the "installation manuelle et mise à jour" component.Then, when nlite has finished, open a command prompt, go to the source folder (ex: X:\CDXP\i386) and type :winnt32 /makelocalsource /norebootOn the next reboot, you'll get a new entry in the boot menu : "Installation de windows"...(you can ommit the "/noreboot" swith : it will reboot & run the install immediately)++ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T D Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 Basically, my win source is on another partition (G:)I created a ms-dos startup floppy disk in my computer>3 1/2 floppy. Right click, format, create msdos startup disk.Done.I boot from the floppy til I reach the dos prompt. I typeg:.\i386\winnt.exeAnd that's how I install windows. I always burn to a dvdrw just in case.

amit_talkin Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 ya but i have got some problems that in this type of installation $OEM$ folder contents not copied!! there are many topics related to this problem! any solution for it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T D Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I don't actually use oem folders, there isn't anything for me to put. I integrate anything I need.OEM should work if the source is at the root of the partition. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
I_Broke_My_MHZ Posted June 18, 2006 Share Posted June 18, 2006 I tried it. It doesn't work if you used nLite on the installation. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ssjkakaroto Posted June 23, 2006 Share Posted June 23, 2006 i was just looking for something similiar but instead of a hard drive i was planning on booting and installing windows from a usb pen-drive, but since you guys are saying it doesn't work with nlited windows i guess i just have to burn to a cdrw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jokoon Posted June 28, 2006 Author Share Posted June 28, 2006 (edited) EDIT : nothing to worry, the directory name was too long.[Delprat told me to type some command, but I am not used to it :/Is there anyone to be more precise please ?] Edited June 28, 2006 by jokoon Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ccc Posted June 28, 2006 Share Posted June 28, 2006 (edited) Basically, my win source is on another partition (G:) I created a ms-dos startup floppy disk in my computer>3 1/2 floppy.Hey T D,Are your win source & destination partitions FAT? Or do you use some other app to get your DOS boot disk to see NTFS partitions?All I get is ”Invalid drive specification” Edited June 28, 2006 by ccc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
T D Posted June 29, 2006 Share Posted June 29, 2006 Yeh, it's fat32.I wonder if and when Fat64 will come out Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
