Parliament Funkadelic Posted December 9, 2006 Share Posted December 9, 2006 Ok, so I found this unattended windows stuff, and I think it's pretty awesome, I have some ideas (though I could use some help) but I have one major thing to deal with:I backed up all my stuff and reformatted my drives, not taking into account that my MCE2005 install disc was a single DVD (not 2 discs) I forgot to make the disc first, as the computer I reformatted is the one with my DVD burner in it . I am looking for either a way to break this 1 dvd into 2 CDs or get the installation files to just run from an external drive. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hmm... The most I was getting it down to was ~580mb and then with the programs it was just shy of 800mb and wouldn't fit on a single CD. So far that's as low as I have gotten my image file. I haven't tried removing keyboards, but I think I know what one to keep and as for languages, are these files needed for unicode characters like japanese and hebrew? If not then I can remove all of them no problem; I am just worried about japanese characters showing up as boxes instead of the actual script.I take it there is no way to remove the DME though as none of them show up anywhere in Nlite (that WOULD remove a ton of space) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
