How To Remaster Windows 2000, 2003 Server And XP.

rilexs-tech — Mon, 10 Aug 2009 07:12:06 +0000

Remastering is something fun for a newbie this. What is remastering or remastering linux windows ... .... Do friends ever heard the term "remastering"?

Through this remastering many benefits. If the windows in the remastering, as an example the result is a mini XP, Tiny XP, and others. I say helpful for me, because according to my desk job at the lab, which is one of them is PC-ngelola old PC with minimum specifications, but are required / forced ngejalanin seabrek application of berat2, say that netbeans, oracle 10g, VB 6, Delphi 7, Office 2007, Eclipse, Photoshop CS2, Macromedia8, Boson, Corel, etc. at the same time that will be installed on a PC with PIII 550 MHz specs ...
This had to be done because the new PC word that the department has Spec intel core2 duo that can be used in February 2008 with later ... have to think so hard I get Microsoft Windows XP SP2 can be installed on the computer is old seabrek program plus a heavy, with a guarantee after all is installed, the PC is still running fast.
We used, what it is remastering. Remastering is the process in the OS make / create a new master OS, if the add / insert a new component editor (such as drivers, or applications that will be embedded also) or the composer component that it is not a new need.

Any posts at this time I will only discuss about Windows Remastering by reducing component composer that I think is not necessary, so that the windows remastering we will have a small size and weight is not as many applications / service / component is not important that we dispose . As an illustration, how often we use the Help & Support, XP tour, the animated dog is in the searching of Windows, along with service-service that we need should not be deleted / removed it, because each service / component you use / consume memory or space on our PC, which ultimately result in lemotnya PC that we use.

The other benefit from the remastering that I write this time so the installation process is faster, the default 32 minutes we can reduce to be only 8-15 minutes, so only about 8-15 to install the Windows we have this remastering. In addition we can also create unattended installation, we can embed the serial number installation, configuration time / timezone, user, networking, and so on the windows that we will remastering, so that when we perform the installation using the windows remastering, we only need to determine the partition and after that we can leave it to finish without the need to enter a serial number and other configuration. So simple .
Now How To Make Remaster Windows???

Meanwhile, we need / requirements for remastering windows are:
Source Windows or Windows Installer CD
Installation first. Net Framework, this time in the simulation I use. Net Framework 2.0 x86 . For Net Framework Download Here
After. Net Framework installed, then we need to have nLite, this happens in the simulation I use nLite version 1.3.5. nLite is an application that works for me-remaster windows. Installernya here
Well after all the requirements met, we will be doing the remastering these windows.

This Step Is:

Open / Applications run nLite is. In the simulation this time, I chose India as the language. Button and then click "Continue".
Button Click "Browse" to specify the location where the master windows akan we remaster-kan.
After that will be seen what the product name, version, language and size of windows that we akan remaster-kan. After that click button "Continue"
After that will come out preset display, which functions using settingan previous remastering. In the simulation this time, I assume we have not been doing remastering process before, so no settingan stored. So if the display appears as below, right click aja Button "Continue"
After that will come out as the view below, the option whether you want to do integration, remove components, set the configuration setup, and options to create bootable ISO. In the simulation this time, I choose all the options, EXCEPT integration. Because our focus this time is not add / paste, but do deletion of components and configuration. After the option is selected, click the button "Continue"
Will out as the view below, the display window for compatibility, we can disregard them by clicking the button "Cancel" in the compatibility window. The purpose of the compatibility of this window we can see from the capture image below.
Then we will be faced with a window like below. This window contains the components that we will dispose of. Checklist-men with the options there, meaning we will drop these components. It is important to note that the description of each component is listed in the far right column when the cursor is located at our option that we select the components and We will Discard relatively BETWEEN EACH PEOPLE, TO THE NEEDS DEPENDING respectively. For example I will drop in the WordPad application options. Because I can function WordPad is replaced with a notepad, and I intend to install the Office later, WordPad, so I feel no need to. If you want to follow my STEP 2 in the men-drop components whatever, yah please ...
Following components that I removed (marked with the options-in checklist):
Options for Application:

Options for language (the language option for this men-all checklist):

Options for Drivers:

Support for Option Hardware, I'm not a one-component checklist also.
Option for Network, I only men-component checklist guidance Internet connection, MSN Explorer, UreÄ‘aj Communications, Windows Messenger:

Option for Keyboard, I men-all checklist EXCEPT Keyboard United Kingdom and United States-International Keyboard.
Option for Service, I men-checklist following components, namely: fax Service, Indexing Service, Secondary logon, Automatic Updating, Error Reporting, Remote Registry, Windows Time.
Options for Multimedia:
Options for Operating System, the components that need to be Out Of Box Experience (OOBE), should not the check list, Except if the windows will be remastering is a corporate version of windows.:

Options for Directory (my checklist men-all components):
Already completed the disposal / removal of components. Click the button Lanjut.Kita akan Unattended presented with the option, which baerarti here we can embed serial number, and configuration-konfigrasi (such as user, networking, timezone, Desktop, and others) so that the remastering of the windows will not ask for this serial number and other configuration-configuration when installed, because we are all embedded-kan.
After unattended configuration in accordance with our desire, and click on the button "Continue" that will come out as the view below. Do the selection options and settingan suit your needs.
Click the button "Continue", then the display will go out as below, the option Tweaks to make the work of settingan registry service and a variety of akan distartup, as our example setting up so that key CTRL + ALT + DEL can not be executed during the process of entry and settingan other.
Tweaks Option After we completed this configuration, just click the button "Continue" to process the windows that we remastering-kan into files before installation. Ilustrasinya more or less like the image below:
Akan out as the view below. -Click button is "Yes" to start processing:

After the button "Yes" on-click, then it looks more or less like below indicates that the process to create the installation file:

After processing is complete, where ilustrasinya more or less like the image below. We can observe that the file installer windows XP SP2 results remastering size we are now ONLY 170.91 MB. Try bayangin which the original installer file size is 574.20 MB be reduced drastically 170.91 MB. Not very small, which means we have to remove 403.29 MB parts and service that we not only need the space and memory menghabisin our PC.
Click-it button "Continue". Past selesailah processing stage to the installation of files. Now we will create image files from the installer before remastering. Yup, we will create a bootable ISO of the installer before remastering. Do necessary changes, such as labels and others. Then just click the Create ISO button to start the process of making ISO file installer windows SP2 results remastering we have to do. Note the picture below:

Already completed the process of remastering the windows that we do. Now we have Windows XP SP2 installer that only mini-sized, that is 170.91 MB. In addition to the benefits-the benefits of the assets, such as the installation process only 8-15 minutes, and the unattended installation of fun. Thanx a lot nLite, a PC-old PC can run this well and nicelyâ€¦.
