John L. Galt Actualy I statred in unix systems. I like linux but rarely mess with it now. Too many distobution flavors and poor mainstream support. Feel free to share your work and ideas. Nuhi, How are you ? Whats the news on windows 7 7lite ??? Not much progress here. 18months ago I invented the first method to move the ?:/user folder. See above Now I have to do it for Windows 7 x64. Ohhh the fun of beta testing. MRGCAV@gmail.com

I was looking to do something similar. To partition a blank drive into sevewral partitions prior to installing vista but part of the vista installation process. I am not a programmer. But I suspect a batch file using fdisk or EFdisk could be contained within an autoattend.xml file. It should work but is not an efficient method. also http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?showtopic=129534 MRGCAV@Gmail.com

Can anyone tell me how and what tools I need to integrate 3rd party apps into Vista? First I will slim vista down using Vlite. THEN I want to add Firefox, Winwar, Vmware, Perfectdisk and Spysweeper etc... to the Windows Installation & ISO installation DVD. MRGCAV@gmail.com

I was reading the vlite history... vLite 1.1.6 beta - SP Slipstream Important notes: - slipstreaming x64 SP from x86 host is not supported, you need x64 host I have searched the forums and found nothing. Has the new vLite 1.2 RC addressed this ? I have Vista X64 Ultimate. I have a Gateway GM5424 x86 machine. What are the current requirements ? Can I use Vlite to dissect and slipstream Vista X64 Ultimate on a x86 machine ? Or do I absolutely need a x64 machine to slipstream a Vista x64. MRGCAV@gmail.com

I have a Intel 945GNT based Server (By DG Systems) I bought used. I have no info on it, except a build sheet. I intend to install Windows Server 2008 on it. It is setup for a SATA RAID array between two drives. i found some info on the Intel website about /raid setup: www.intel.com/.../cs-020811.htm#sysreq and www.intel.com/.../cs-020811.htm#drivers The BIOS is configured for RAID using the Matrix Storage Manager before I got the unit. Problem; The SATA raid array and the hard drives are not detected in the BIOS. BIOS States: "NO HARD DISK DRIVE" So I found this not on the Intel website; "When RAID is enabled, you cannot check which port a drive is connected to in the BIOS. The BIOS will show the individual SATA ports, but all of them will show "Not Connected" even if there are drives connected. You can only check it from the option ROM, the Intel Matrix Storage Console and the board silkscreen.' I am not certain what it means... Does "NO HARD DISK DRIVE" equal "Not Connected" ??? What is the procedure to installing the SATA RAID drivers ? Is it the F6 method ? Also, can anyone supply me with the SATA RAID drivers for Windows 2008 ? Reply to: MRGCAV@gmail.com

I suggest you rearrange the order in which you create a complication. Current order is: 1. Service packs 2. Hotfiixes, Addons & update packs 3. Drivers 4. Remove Components 5. Unattended 6. Options 7. Tweaks 8. Bootable ISO I suggest you install the Drivers last. This way one could create a base copy and use it with different drivers. The base copy would contain all the Service packs, options and tweaks. But the final copy would only contain the necessary drivers. This would reduce complication time significantly. 1. Service packs 2. Hotfiixes, Addons & update packs 3. Tweaks 4. Remove Components 5. Unattended 6. Options 7. Drivers 8. Bootable ISO Also the update packs , or the addons should be its own separate step. Let me know what you think. MRGCAV@Gmail.com

I have a fully working gateway Vista ultimate desktop Computer. I can use Nero to burn DVD'S but nlite will not detect my DVD drive ? When I finish my compilation, the Device and burn speed is grayed our on the "bootable ISO" page. I uninstalled and reinstalled the most recent version nLite v1.4.5. No Change. The only thing I can do is to make an iso file and burn with Nero. Experienced as I am in computers, nero is too complicated with too many options. Anyway please help. I must be doing something wrong. Stumped nLite v1.4.5 works fine on my XP computer. Anyone got any ideas ? MRGCAV@Gmail.com
