Pre-install drivers, programs, set all settings, remove unwanted components (Windows Messenger, anyone?) integrate service packs, hotfixes and patches.

Darrel104 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 http://www.nliteos.com/ nLite - take your normal Windows CD, make an unattended setup version of it. Pre-install drivers, programs, set all settings, remove unwanted components (Windows Messenger, anyone?) integrate service packs, hotfixes and patches. That sounds like a bad idea for my because my drivers and programs change often so then it would be more of a hassle. And there is no need to have it to remove windows components since you can just do it yourself, same with patches. Sounds like a nightmare to me. No reason to spend all this time to make another copy since you will most likely never need to use it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cruiser Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 No reason to spend all this time to make another copy since you will most likely never need to use it. It has no practical use for home users. It's much more usefull for people that manage large networks of identical windows machines. Throw the disc in, walk away to do something else, and the machine pretty much reinstalls itself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parabola Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 That sounds like a bad idea for my because my drivers and programs change often so then it would be more of a hassle. It isn't made for the user who installs windows once in a computer lifetime. The program install features are for those who want to provide a simple, stable platform - and not necessarily one which has all the latest and greatest features. If you hadn't guessed, it is made for the person who will be installing windows a lot. I don't have to bother copying over/downloading the programs I want to install on the new machine, which takes time and effort. I don't have to go through every single settings pane specifying exactly how I want the machine to be configured - not only during installation, but the post-installation settings one would normally alter in control panel. And there is no need to have it to remove windows components since you can just do it yourself, same with patches. Yes, except you have to do that every install. With this, you only have to make the effort once. Also, some components are particularly awkward to uninstall - such as IE. No reason to spend all this time to make another copy since you will most likely never need to use it. As Cruiser said, there are plenty of people who will benefit from using it. Not only the administrators of groups of machines (who may well just use ghosting) but the home user who likes to do a format every month. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darrel104 Posted January 23, 2007 Share Posted January 23, 2007 Sounds cool since i never looked at the website before. I have herd that windows slows down over time but I have never noticed anything besides on really old computers but that may be just me. I think i would prefer a ghost image.

Kinslayer777 Posted January 24, 2007 Share Posted January 24, 2007 But common...you can play with your bios...that's fun-look-! it even has colors! Well..it's green at least. Every BIOS I've ever seen has been blue with white text. :-k Hmm... I rechecked it...and...indeed. Mine's blue. :cry: I'm so ashamed of my bios :cry: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
