I chose the $WIN_NT$.~LS folder (since it had I386 in it) on my USB drive created earlier using Multiboot, and I chose the "disc" option. My guess is that I went wrong somewhere around here, but someone please let me know!
Actually the given HOWTO is seemingly written in plain enough English.
Step 1: Copy Windows CD to HDD
Step 2: install DriverPacks BASE
Step 3: download DriverPacks
Step 4: using DriverPacks BASE
Step 5: DriverPacks BASE optional settings
Step 6: reviewing your settings
Step 7: the UpdateChecker
Step 8: slipstream!....
If all went well, then build your Windows source into an ISO file ...
...
Maybe it's the general concept that was not clear.
The idea of the driverspack is to take a
"CD" source (a "standard" XP install CD or it's .iso or the files in it copied to HD) as
input and "transform" it in an
output consisting in a
bettered "CD" source by integrating to it more drivers.
The idea of the "Install from USB" programs is to take a
"CD" source (which would theoretically work if burned to CD - or the actual CD - or it's .iso) as
input and "transform" it in an
output consisting in a USB bootable setup
(USB source).
You don't modify the
USB source - which is the FINAL RESULT, or if you prefer, in the originally linked page order of operations:
Caution
Once the DriverPacks are integrated into your Windows source, you will not be able to integrate any patches or hotfixes without breaking the DriverPacks. This means that you should run nLite and the RyanVM Integrator before DriverPacks BASE!
The recommended order is:
- RyanVM Integrator
- nLite
- DriverPacks BASE
becomes:
The recommended order is:
- RyanVM Integrator
- nLite
- DriverPacks BASE
- Install XP from USB utilities
