This is what I do currently
Welcome to RT Se7en Lite - Slipstream Service Pack,Integrate Updates,Integrate Drivers,Integrate LP,Remove Components,Enable or Disable features,Unattended Setup,Apply Tweaks,Add Icons,Wallpapers,Themes,Bootable USB or DVD
I have XP7 ultimate, with SP1 and all updates slipstreamed.
Updates to end of august from SP 1 here:
x64 - http://hotfix.chris123nt.com/Windows...4-28.8.2011.7z
x86 - http://hotfix.chris123nt.com/Windows...6-28.8.2011.7z
A few extra configurations via registry:
You can add your CD Key choose which drive to format, put what username and password you want on, any backgrounds, themes, screensavers and silent apps (google there are plenty around)
Forgot to mention use a driver backup utility and backup your drivers they can also be added.
You can remove any services, drivers, languages etc you dont want to load or any parts window app you really dont have use for.
This way you always have a good install cd (or USB Drive), that you can use, backups are quicker as you only backup data.
and installs if done correctly you can leave pc to do it all itself.
You will also need to download the WAIK (windows automated install toolkit)
There is a lot more you can do, but that should keep you entertained for now
You can download Enterprise Editions of windows from the links here:
Windows 7 ENTERPRISE /N with SP1-U dvd ISO x86/x64 MSDN (Multi-language))
and Windows 7, with or without SP1 here:
Windows 7 w/o SP1 and SP1 Media Refresh - Direct Download Links
Courtesy of Microsoft
There are other programs that can also do this, and there are programs for XP and Vista
nLite - Deployment Tool for the bootable Unattended Windows installation
NLite is mainly for Vista
Hope this is of use to some of you
Finally: But very important, test your Custom CD using either an alternative PC or VM Ware.
