Re: [CGUYS] Windows Vista download
I have avoided slipstreaming until now... quite involved to produce one, and it only works for one of dozens of target configurations. Mark Minasi mentioned that he could download slipstreamed versions (each SP release), and that caught my attention. Well, I am not a VIP, so I guess I will resort to making my own slipstreams. Maybe with the VLite, it will be easier (but it only works with Vista). Thanks for the Microsoft Store link, but my objective is to obtain only the binaries, not the keys, since most of the machines I repair already have a license (sans disc). - Brian - Original Message - From: mike xha...@gmail.com Subject: Re: [CGUYS] Windows Vista download You should slipstream those SP's into your windows install...very very handy. http://www.nliteos.com/ Fantastic free tool to slipstream SP's or drivers or anything you'd like. * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Windows Vista download
I am the same way. I fiddlefart with a lot of computer stuff. Recently my son brought me his old Toshiba Laptop and as soon as I booted it up, it said you might be a victim. I checked to see what he had done, and he had not installed the appropriate key for his laptop. (Printed on the base of the unit.) All I needed was the correct disk to install and give it the right key number to get it activated again. I am given a lot of old systems, that have Key numbers on them. I get these back up and running. (Usually bad Hard Drives and they want to upgrade anyway so I slap a new HD in them and get it running again.) They no longer have the disks etc. It is a pain to load Windows XP SP1 in them because you have ti run each SP package separately and then wait for it to download all the upgrades etc. I will be looking at the link to see who to slipsteream.

I've got the lovely choice of the recovery partition or burn your own recovery discs from HP. I'm not sure I want to even try to shoe horn anything else in there. It is easier to have the SP's burned on a disc and ready to roll. If I was using something more standard It might be a more worthwhile use of my time. I'd rather ghost the whole mess after I get it all setup the way I want it. -- John Duncan Yoyo ---o) * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *
Re: [CGUYS] Windows Vista download
Sorry to disagree but MS does provide .iso's of their software to MVP's and those who subscribe to their Technet and technet plus services. (I download .ISO's of most all of their products legitimately, evem Windows 3.11 and DOS versions) Mark Minasi is all of the above and if anyone has access to MS products it is Mark. PS: I know him personally and he is one of the top experts on MS Products.

He may have had an image backed up somewhere that he could download. But AFAIK MS doesn't sell the OS via download. Actually, they do. I assumed that he was looking for a free replacement copy, which is why I mentioned MSDN etc., but MS does sell Vista for downloading here: http://tinyurl.com/cg4qku * ** List info, subscription management, list rules, archives, privacy ** ** policy, calmness, a member map, and more at http://www.cguys.org/ ** *

Re: [CGUYS] Windows Vista download
You make an image of your windows install disk, nlite then can take service packs, drivers, programs and integrate them into the install and then you have nlite create a new image from all these parts. Then when you install all drivers, programs and service packs are already installed. Mike On Thu, Feb 19, 2009 at 2:43 PM, Judy Cosler jfcos...@gmail.com wrote: er, what does slipstream mean?
