The XP/7/8 Mini Windows VHD's of 1.2 - 2.5 GB are loaded from USB-Stick into RAM
DISK by Grub4dos and using WinVBlock or FiraDisk driver
Grub4dos booting with VHD loaded into RAMDISK cannot be used on UEFI computers.

How to prepare XP Setup Source ? - Prepare XP Setup ISO file with integrated Upd
atePack and DriverPacks
Take care that your XPSOURCE Folder is located on your Harddisk in a simple Path
without SPACES.
Copy the Content of your Windows XP Setup CD to your XPSOURCE Folder on Harddisk
First Integrate ServicePack SP3 in your XP-SP2 Source (don't use here nLite).
http://www.helpwithwindows.com/WindowsXP/Slipstreaming_Windows_XP_Service_Pack_3
.html
Download from - http://www.microsoft.com/download/en/details.aspx?displaylang=en
&id=24

In Command Window use for English version and XPSOURCE folder on drive E:
[code]WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe /integrate:E:\XPSOURCE[/code]
Siginet's RyanVM Integrator 1.6 can then be used to Integrate Windows UpdatePack
s in the XP-Source.
http://integrator.siginetsoftware.com/index.php?download
Download preferred version RVM Integrator 1.6.1 Beta 2.1
Windows XP UpdatePacks and Addons:
Onepiece XP Post-SP3 AIO Update Pack FINAL - http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/viewtop

RyanVM Forum - http://www.ryanvm.net/forum/
Work according to Section 2 in - http://www.911cd.net/forums//index.php?showtopi

For Install of XP on a modern system with SATA Drives it is needed to use DPsBas
e.exe
for Integrating in your XPSOURCE DriverPack Massstorage with TXT Mode Enabled.
http://driverpacks.net/downloads
In that case a lot of Extra RAID SCSI and SATA Drivers (about 120 extra) are Int
egrated which appear in the
XP Setup BootFolder $WIN_NT$.~BT on Install-Drive and can prevent a lot of XP In
stall Boot Problems.
Use DPsBase.exe to Integrate DriverPacks Chipset + Processor + MassStorage + LAN
+ WLAN DriverPacks
which will then be located in OEM Folder in your XPSOURCE folder
Always first use RyanVM Integrator and then use DPsBase to Improve your XP-Sourc
e
DPsBase makes presetup.cmd in folder I386 and changes the I386\winnt.sif file fo
r use of DriverPacks
presetup.cmd in folder I386 will start decompression of DriverPacks located in O
EM folder
at the beginning of GUI-mode of XP Setup, which does NOT take to much time for t
he 5 DriverPacks
You should select to Keep The Drivers for Chipset + Processor + MassStorage + LA
N
Then WINDOWS\DriverPacks is about 135 MB which is acceptable and provides a lot
of extra driver support
which is useful to make XP Universal and adapt easily to very different hardware
.
In that case the DevicePath is set accordingly in key
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion
so that XP can automatically make use of these drivers for adjusting to New Hard
ware
When you don't use nLite, you can copy the supplied $OEM$ folder to your XP Sour
ce folder
Change $OEM$ folder to your needs for UserAccounts and Registry Tweaks and Addin
g Drivers
CMDLINES.TXT is used for making UserAccounts and install of Registry Tweaks at T
-12
Info see: http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/

Use DriverForge.v4.5.4.exe to Install from C:\Drivers at T-9 of GUI XP Setup (ju

st for the last Reboot).
DriverForge.v4.5.4.exe was made by kickarse http://www.msfn.org/board/index.php?
showtopic=110783
At end of TXT-mode XP Setup the folder $OEM$\$1\Drivers is copied to C:\Drivers
and $OEM$\$1\Install\DriverForge.v4.5.4.exe is copied to C:\Install
For Auto Use of DriverForge at T-9 add uncompressed driver folders in $OEM$\$1\D
rivers
and Uncomment two rules by removing ; in winnt.sif file copied from winnt_sif to
your I386 folder
This is very useful for Install of your well known Audio and Video driver during
GUI-mode of XP Setup.
[SetupParams]
UserExecute = "%SystemDrive%\INSTALL\SetupPar.cmd"
Smart Driver Backup 2.12 of Jaque is very useful to Backup your drivers before i
nstall of XP
