XP NLite GUIDe
 

Supes made a copyright booboo and will be replacing this guide soon enough. Thx Dino :D

I did this today and when it made the iso it removed all the autorun stuff.... will it still boot on a fresh install?

Well it is about time as I have been asking around about this. Little did I know you had the secret formula.

The operating system should load after you've installed it using the iso burned to disk.

autorun shouldnt interfere with the operating system loading. The iso needs to be burnt to a disk and then use the disk to install the operating system.

I know all that bro, I should have been more clear... I was just worried about if it will boot or not when trying to install it for the first time. It doesn't have the setup.exe or any of that junk.

Well, it all depends. Normally, it'll just install like any other Windows installation cd. If you've removed something essential to the installation then you'll know right away because duh, it won't install.

Just try it on an old or spare HDD to find out. Report back :D and stop being a chicken, just do it! bawk bawk bawk.

Trial and Error homie.

LOL.... I just didn't have one available at the time. I just put it in my old rig and it looks like it will boot just fine. I just thought you might know off the top of your head if nlite removes that stuff on purpose.

I gotta make a new iso now cause I got in a hurry and put the x86 SP3 update with the x64 version LMFAO!:rofl

:rofl:rofl:rofl:rofl

LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!


Glad to hear its workin :D :D :D :D :D

So when I get this rig together i'm going to do XP and then Start over with Vista, so should I start with the 32bit and then move to 64bit or just skip 32 bit all together?

If you wanna run a dual boot or multi boot, install the oldest operating system first to the newest. So if you were gonna use all of them it'd be in this order:

xp32........xp64........vista32........vista64 or

xp32........vista32......vista64 or

xp32.......vista64

Long as its oldest to newest, you shouldnt have any problems. Just make sure you create the partitions using each installation disk, don't pre-partition, it'll go easier this way.
