I have a couple of quick questions to ask. Btw, huge thx to Aaron and Gosh for those tutorials. Even a noob like me was able to make a unattended XP cd... Wich is quite remarkable since I never did a batch file in my life before that...

Ok! Here goes: I just slipstreamed the new rollup like Aaron showed and it's working a-1.

Now, I would like to do the "slimfast" trick on my cd and then add the other hotfixes and some appz. I would like to know if I proceed like this (just to be sure):

1) Reduce the size of my "new" rollup CD with Gosh method.
2) Then make a $oem$ folder with some other hotfixes and appz, creating a new winnt.sif file in the process, but without touching the dosnet.inf this time.

Is this correct?

Thx!

Did you put the HACKED SFC_OS.DL_ in the i386 directory ?

@ Beppe

XP/2k/2003 have hidden settings for Encryption and System file protection. You could put the value as such in your unattend file:

[SystemFileProtection]
SFCQuota=0
SFCDisable=ffffff9d

That disables simple file sharing and doesn't make a dllcache folder

-gosh

[gosh]

So far i've shown how to reduce size of i386 folder, make a multi-os cd, and include xp and winpe on the same cd here. The steps i've already shown can be applied to make much more fancy, and complicated cd's. Let's take the cd process further and make a cd with:

winxp home
winxp pro
win2k pro sp2
win2k server sp2
win2k advserver sp2
(and win2k datacenter if it really makes you happy)

Back when xp came out i made a cd called XP2K that had all these os' on a 700 meg cd, all unattended. These instructions can be applied to the latest service packs, but when i originally made the cd i used the original versions of xp and win2k with sp2 slipstreamed.

First, follow my previous directions to make a cd with XP Pro on it. You should have VOLx folders for the boot files, and XP in the WinXPPro folder. On the root of the cd should be the ident files - win51, win51ip, win51ic, etc.

Next, we're gonna add xp home to the cd. Follow the same directions to put xp home on the cd.

1 - run winnt32.exe /noreboot, and make sure under Advanced Options "make local source" is checked or grayed out.
2 - rename c:\$Win_NT$.~LS\ to c:\XPHome
3 - rename the c:\$Win_NT$.~bt\ folder to HOM1
4 - delete the size.sif file in the XPHome folder
5 - Hex c:\HOM1\setupldr.bin, replace i386 with HOM1 (all capital letters) 4 times
6 - Edit c:\HOM1\txtsetup.sif and change SetupSourcePath to \XPHome\

Quote

SetupSourcePath = "\XPHome\"

7 - Delete any unneeded files in the c:\HOM1\ folder such as winnt.sif, migrate.inf, bootsect.dat. If you want to do an unattended install, put your unattend file as winnt.sif into the c:\HOM1\ folder
8 - Now make the boot sector. If you still have VOL1.DAT copy it as HOM1.DAT, and hex it and change VOL1 to HOM1, such as:

Quote

SETUPLDR.BINBOOTFIX.BINHOM1

Now let's copy the c:\XPHome and c:\HOM1 folders to our xp install source. On our cd now we should have the following folders:

Quote

HOM1
VOL1
VOL2 (optional)
VOL3 (optional)
WinXPPro
XPHome

Now we're gonna add win2k to the cd. Follow the 8 steps above for win2k pro, win2k server, win2k adv server. Just replace XPHome and HOM1 with the following table:

Rename the c:\$WIN_NT$\~LS\ folder to the following:

win2k pro = Win2kPro
win2k serv = Win2kSrv
win2k adv srv = Win2kAds

Rename the c:\$WIN_NT$\~BT\ folder to the following:

win2k pro = PRO1, PRO2, PRO3, etc
win2k serv = SRV1, SRV2, SRV3, etc
win2k adv srv = ADS1, ADS2, ADS3, etc

So now your cd should have the following folders:

Quote

PRO1
SRV1
ADS1
HOM1
VOL1
VOL2 (optional)
VOL3 (optional)
WinXPPro
XPHome
Win2kPro
Win2kSrv
Win2kAds

Now we need to add the cd idents and other files. On the root of the cd, make sure you have the following:

WIN51
WIN51IP
WIN51IC
WIN51IP.SP1 (only if using sp1)
WIN51IC.SP1 (only if using sp1)
SPNOTES.HTM
CDROM_IA.5
CDROM_IP.5
CDROM_IS.5
CDROM_NT.5
CDROMSP2.TST
DISKEMU.CMD
LOADER.BIN
DISKEM1X.BIN
DELOAD.BIN
VOL1.DAT
VOL2.DAT (optional)
VOL3.DAT (optional)
HOM1.DAT
PRO1.DAT
SRV1.DAT
ADS1.DAT

Now copy the following files to the XPHome, WinXPPro, Win2kPro, Win2kSrv, Win2kAds folders:

WIN51
WIN51IP
WIN51IC
WIN51IP.SP1 (only if using sp1)
WIN51IC.SP1 (only if using sp1)
SPNOTES.HTM
CDROM_IA.5
CDROM_IP.5
CDROM_IS.5
CDROM_NT.5
CDROMSP2.TST

That's it. You now have a bootable cd with xp home, xp pro, win2k pro, win2k server, win2k adv server. You should have around 40 megs to add other stuff such as software.

When trying to run this:

winnt32.exe /noreboot

from the Windows 2000 CD, I get an error saying that I cannot install from this version of Windows (Windows XP Professional).

Is there a way around this or must I install Windows 98 or something like that so I can install?

[gosh]

Install the XP Application Compatibily toolkit 3.0. It'll let you disable that.

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&DisplayLang=en

Just download and install it. Open it up and where it says win2k, just disable it.

Hi
I need only the first methode. I Use only wxp on one cd. I have more drivers and apps.
this methode is verry good. but i want the boot screen
"press a key for setup"
how can i make this.
because:
1st boot device cdrom
2th boot device hdd
winnt.sif on floppy
if i start to boot from cd, the setup starts automaticly and copies the Files.
After this I must change the boot order to 1st hdd or eject the cd
if not:
the setup begins again to copy files

who can help please?

[gosh]

If you want that message copy bootfix.bin into your VOL1 or boot folder. If you cannot see the ~LS and ~BT folders, make sure you can see hidden files and folders. It doesn't matter where systemfileprotection is, because it's it's own seperate catagory.

help me please....

when i type winnt32.exe /noreboot it jus pops-up Windows explorer and goes to C:\Documents and Settings\Administrator.. wat am i doing wrong i jus went to start--> run and typed winnt32.exe /noreboot

[flyakite]

You need to browse to the directory of the cd. If say, you have your cd copied to a folder called XP on your C:\. Start - Run - then type "command" without the quotes to open command prompt. From there you would type:

cd XP

cd (change directory) XP changes to the XP folder in your C:\. Then, to get to i386 type

cd i386

then from there type winnt32.exe /noreboot.

Basically in the command prompt you have to navigate to where your winnt32.exe file is for the OS your're trying to shrink.

[eXPerience-XP]

ok and when i type it in the setup starts so is it gonna install over my current OS?
EDIT: OK no it didnt install oevr my current OS but it only created da $WIN_NT$.~BT(or somethign like dat) folder it didnt create the $WIN_NT$.~LS... anyone know y that is? im using the corporate version of XP Pro

[flyakite]

No, it won't. When setup comes up. You want to do choose the clean install option. It will copy files to your computer but will NOT overwrite anything already on there. Once it's done, it should just close on it's own if I remember correctly. Afterwards, you should have some weird folders in your C:\. Just follow the starting post of this thread to do the rest.
