Hi guys
you know when windows starts in safe mode it doesn't load any drivers.
I want installing Win XP as small and light as SafeMode. I mean no installing devices, drivers and ... and not load them.
I know it's possible but how ?

isnt there a custom installation mode ?
where you can select the things you want to install.. and which parts you don't want to install

dont know for sure

actualy it does load drivers, but not all of them, or just some generic driver (like for the video drivers)


like this: http://nuhi.msfn.org/nlite.html

You can Use a Prog Called N-lite to build your own custom one this one loads the drivers in the i386 file that you specify you could change the contents
nLite Features

- Component Removal
- Unattended Setup -this means you pop in the cd hit any key and come back to a fully installed OS
- Driver Integration *
- Hotfixes Integration **
- Tweaks
- Patches ***
- Bootable ISO creation
* - Textmode (CD Boot) and normal PnP
** - only new type 1 hotfixes (for example XP post SP2)

nlite can be downloaded here http://nuhi.msfn.org/nlite.html

However the holygrail of what your actually lookijng to do is windows embedded so its great that they have a trial download--http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=dacd1722-256b-48c5-91c1-af6062340efc&displaylang=en

Something else you will probably also be interested in is BartPE. This allows you to create customised live windows CD's. Worth checking out.

I was just going to add BartPE.
It's great, I've got my own copy with alot of tools on it. Works flawlessly
