#
eXPerience Presents...
#

#
Windows XP Professional SP3 - February 2010
#
________________________________________________________________________
#

#
To boot from this DVD, set your PC up so it will boot
#
from the DVD drive in the PC's BIOS.
#
________________________________________________________________________
#

#
When you boot from this DVD you will see 6 options.
#

#
You have a choice of 3 different Windows installations:
#

#
1. Full Windows XP (nothing is removed)
#
2. TinyXP (large components removed, but usable for most)
#
3. MicroXP (extremely small, only takes 221Mb of HDD space)
#

#
All three versions are updated to February 2010.
#

#
There are also three more boot options:
#

#
4. Acronis True Image EES v9.7.8353 (Backup\Restore)
#
5. Hiren's BootCD v10.1 (Includes Live Windows XP)
#
6. SpinRite v6.1 (Hard Disk Testing and Repair)
#

#
________________________________________________________________________
#

#
Tons of drivers included!
#

#
After the first reboot, on all installations, you will see a pop up
#
"Driver Selector" window, This has a 1 minute timer. If the minute
#
counts down, you will get important driverpacks included.
#

#
This selector has a lot of drivers and you can pick and choose any
#
combination you want, but remember that you must be sat at the PC
#
after the first reboot.
#

#
All three choices include 22 different driverpacks, all are optional,
#
but you will always get basic drivers included even if the timer is
#
left to count down. That is, CPU, Chipset, LAN, Mass Storage, Sound,
#
the main nVidia and ATI graphics drivers and Wireless LAN.
#

#
Even if you choose to create a smaller CD sized ISO (which you can
#
easily do by just double clicking a batch file in the ISO folder on
#
this DVD) those still include drivers and the driver selector, but
#
they are on a 700Mb CD so have to have less driver packs.
#

#
________________________________________________________________________
#

#
Options 1 and 2
#
---------------
#

#
- NOT unattended.
#
- You do not require any product key
#
- Allows you to do a "Repair" installation
#

#
You can install Windows the way you want, choose your own username,
#
regional and language options etc.
#

#

#
Option 2
#
--------
#

#
Option 2 is TinyXP Rev10 (February 2010).
#

#
This is usable for most people, but it does not include Chinese,
#
Japanese or Korean languages. It also has a lot of other things
#
removed that are classed as a waste of resources, or just bulky
#
and useless. For example the upgrade option is removed, since
#
only a clean install is advised, also the Tour is removed, MSN
#
Explorer and many other items, but whilst keeping all of the
#
functionality (services) in Windows. This means you get a smaller
#
install and it uses less RAM, but you get almost the whole of
#
Windows and will not miss anything taken out.
#

#
To see whats removed from TinyXP, see the file here:
#

#
XP02I386SVCPACKNLITELast Session.ini
#

#
You should only install this Windows onto a freshly formatted
#
partition or hard disk.
#

#

#
Option 3
#
--------
#

#
Option 3 is not for the faint hearted, it is an extremely small edition
#
of Windows with a lot of components removed. I actually use it myself
#
though, as my main OS. It seems to do everything I need it to do.
#

#
There are advantages to MicroXP:
#

#
- Extremely fast installation
#
- Fast to scan for viruses
#
- Making a backup is fast
#
- Defragmenting is fast
#

#
Those are just some advantages - the OS is also less prone to viruses
#
because there are so few files left to attack and it runs very fast.
#

#
This boots up in probably a third of the time of normal Windows XP.
#

#
This installation is unattended and set to US English, but you can
#
change the country for your keyboard afterwards.
#

#
You should only install this Windows onto a freshly formatted
#
partition or hard disk.
#

#
Other boot options
#
------------------
#

#
- Acronis Backup + Restore
#

#
Allows you to backup your existing partition(s) before installing
#
Windows, or you can quickly restore a backup made previously with
#
Acronis.
#

#

#
- Hirens Boot CD v10.1
#

#
This includes a bootable "Mini XP" that you can boot into in case
#
you cannot boot into Windows anymore. From there you can access
#
your disks again and use any of the dozens of tools included. This
#
is a massive collection of more then 200 tools! Including Partition
#
Tools, Disk Clone Tools, Antivirus Tools, Recovery Tools, Testing Tools,
#
RAM (Memory) Testing Tools, Hard Disk Tools, System Information Tools,
#
MBR (Master Boot Record) Tools, BIOS / CMOS Tools, MultiMedia Tools,

#
EasyRecovery.
#

#

#
- SpinRite v6.0
#

#
SpinRite attempts to recover data from damaged portions of hard disks
#
that might not be readable via the operating system. When it encounters
#
a sector with errors that cannot be corrected by the disk drive's error
#
correcting code, it tries to read the sector up to 2000 times, and
#
tries to determine the most probable value of each bit by comparing
#
the results. The data is then saved onto a new block of the same disk.
#

#

#

#
ISO folder (CD)
#

#
If you want to make a <700Mb CD of any of these Windows
#
installations, you have 7 different options to choose from...
#

#
You can make an ISO file (bootable CD image) by running one
#
of the batch files included in the ISO folder on the DVD.
#

#
You must have the DVD in your DVD drive OR the main DVD ISO
#
file mounted in a virtual drive for this to work!
#

#
The last option here gives you TinyXP and MicroXP with all
#
the other boot options like Acronis, Hirens and SpinRite
#
and it also includes a good selection of driver packs.
#

#
See the ISO folder for more info.
#

#
The 7 batch files are as follows...
#

#
01a - Full XP + 4 Driverpacks [694Mb]
#
01b - Full XP - No Added Drivers [672Mb]
#

#
02a - TinyXP + 16 Driverpacks [699Mb]
#
02b - TinyXP - No Added Drivers [346Mb]
#

#
03a - MicroXP + 20 Driverpacks [695Mb]
#
03b - MicroXP - No Added Drivers [109Mb]
#

#
04 - TinyXP+MicroXP+Multi-Boot+6 Driverpacks [698Mb]
#

#

#
Running one of those files produces the following ISO file:
#

#
XP01a.Full.XP.With.Drivers.iso ................................. [694Mb]
#
XP01b.Full.XP.Without.Drivers.iso .............................. [672Mb]
#

#
XP02a.TinyXP.With.Drivers.iso .................................. [699Mb]
#
XP02b.TinyXP.Without.Drivers.iso ............................... [346Mb]
#

#
XP03a.MicroXP.With.Drivers.iso ................................. [695Mb]
#
XP03b.MicroXP.Without.Drivers.iso .............................. [109Mb]
#

#
XP04.TinyXP.MicroXP.Hirens.Acronis.SpinRite.With.Drivers.iso ... [698Mb]
#

#

------------------------------------------------ ----
#
WHAT IF YOU ONLY HAVE A CD BURNER AND NO DVD BURNER?
#
----------------------------------------------------
#

#
As stated above, you can just mount the main DVD ISO file in a
#
virtual drive and then run one of the bat files to create a
#
new ISO file.
#

#
If you don't already have any software to mount this ISO file with,
#
just open this ISO with WinRAR and drag out the "Daemon Tools" file
#
from the "APPSSilent" folder. Install that Daemon Tools program.
#
Then after installing Daemon Tools, reboot.
#

#
Now with Daemon Tools, mount this ISO file of the DVD.
#

#
Now open the virtual drive in My Computer and open the ISO folder.
#

#
Simply click any .bat file to make a .iso of the CD you want.
#

#
________________________________________________________________________
#

#
OEM folder (CD)
#

#
If you want to install the drivers on this CD independently of
#
installing Windows, this is now possible by running one file.
#

#
In the OEM folder on the CD you will find a file called:
#

#
DP_Install_Tool.cmd
#

#
Run this DP_Install_Tool.cmd file and sit back whilst the process unpacks
#
the drivers, then tries to find any drivers you might need installing,
#
then installs the drivers, then removes the initial drivers that were
#
extracted, because they are not needed afterwards.
#

#
You can run this DP_Install_Tool.cmd file anytime, on any x86 Windows XP
#
or Server 2003.
#

#
Do not move the CMD file from the OEM folder. If the CMD file is not left
#
where it is inside the OEM folder, it will not work.
#

#
________________________________________________________________________
#

#
eXPerience folder (Desktop)
#

#
Most of these folders contain quick solutions to things that otherwise
#
would be buried away in the Windows GUI or require DOS style commands.
#
E.g. "control userpasswords2" will open the screen to change your
#
Windows XP login password.
#

#
Check WGA Status - This lets you see if Windows passes the WGA check.
#
Desksave - Allows you to save your icon setup on the Desktop.
#
Driver Install Tool - Info about the driver installer (OEM folder).
#

#

#
