Thread: Super small XP install

Hello all

I got my hands on a microxp by experience very very small the whole setup load in under 4 mins.

The size is 400mb and only the pagefile.sys is 300Mb the problem i am facing is it loads only on new mother board setup the old boards are not working there.

any Ideas ?

Im guessing an iso that small would not have many drivers in it. You could extract the iso image and search for a file called lastsession.ini, if its there you could use nlite and make the same version with the drivers/hardware support needed. It will increase the iso image once youve made it tho...

Nope there is no lastsession.ini file

any other ideas?

The main problem i am facing is the boot cd does not start on my intel 810e board.

Is there a txt file that contains wots been removed from xp? sometimes they give a jpg image as well?

Does the disk boot ok? as in press any key to load message?, you should at least be able to get to the blue window that shows wot drivers its loading before the install options are displayed

Everything works fine... rr video started working when i installed WMP then removed it but the video is still working ...

Yes i do get the boot from cd thing ..

ALL good and stable works like a charm under 6sec boot under 3 sec shut down.

The only major size file is the pagefile.sys what is it used for ? its 308 MB the whole setup is only 389MB

you can integrate the driverpacks from driverpacks.net. the final install won`t be bigger an the most devices will be installed already

6 sec boot... Thats impressive.

How did you do that? What program did you use for this?

No program only microxp its very slim and only the baisc has its own minilogon so the boot is fast.
