What I did was created a custom installation of Windows XP Pro. Added into the build is Comodo Firewall Pro, Power ISO, Firefox and all the correct drivers for this machine. It even has a custom them. • • With that disc, if anything ever screws my machine up, I can restore it in under 20 minutes. • • As you can see by the video, it starts booting at 0:02, and is done by 0:30. • • I then load up Firefox 3 just to show how quick I can get on the web. • • Wondering what the specs are? Nothing impressive! • • AMD Sempron 2800+ (1.6Ghz) • 768 MB Ram • Nvidia Geforce 6200 • Samsung SATAII 500gb • MB : Nvidia NF8-V • • With the right configuration and tweaks, you can get a pretty decent performance from kit that costs under £150! • • Edit: • • To create a custom install of Windows you will need the following: • • nlite - for creating an unattended iso, you can download it from http://www.nliteos.com/ • Windows XP CD - nlite will use the Windows XP installation disc • • These are the only tools you need. When you run nlite, there's a quick read me to cover, but once done it takes no time to create a CD which will install Windows without any input needed (serial, drivers, themes software etc) • • I would then head over to http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended... for more detail into customizing your installation CD. • • The best way to practice getting you disc right, download Virtual Box from Sun at http://www.virtualbox.org/ it's free. It's a virtual PC that you can load you ISO into and see how things work out before you try it on a real system. • • :)
