My system runs very smooth after having some problems! As I wrote in Fixing The Computer: Update 2 I want to upgrade my OS to Vista in the future. I also said that before I upgrade, I wanted to make a Unattended Windows DVD! An unattended Windows DVD install a windows along with any application you could want with absolutely no user input required! But how do you make such dvd?! It’s not hard if you follow the manual! The guide shows you multiple ways to build an unattended DVD.
If you want to make your own unattended windows dvd, then you have to use this applications!
- Use RyanVM’s Integrator to slipstream SP2 into your Windows installation (Or SP1 for Vista!)
- Use RyanVM’s Post-SP2 Update pack to slipstream all other Windows Updates
- Use Bashrat the Sneaky’s driver packs and installer to integrate every driver known to man into the install
- Use the RunOnceEx from CD method listed in the MSFN guide to install all of your applications
- Use nLite to make your Windows installation unattended and convert the directory to a bootable, burnable DVD ISO
- Use DeepBurner or some other freeware ISO burning tool to make the DVD
All of these tools (with the exception of DeepBurner) are talked about in the MSFN guide, though they’re often mentioned in passing after long descriptions of lengthier processes to do the same thing.

I use a version of XP that I’m pretty sure isn’t legit, as I didn’t get the CD from the supplier. If I use the Post SP2 update pack, will it trigger Genuine Advantage?
Too be honest, I don’t know for sure, (I don’t have experience with that), but I know that they are a lot of ways to get pass Genuine Advantage (they are some small software which uses .bat and/or .exe extension!) which you can include to your unattended windows dvd.
