nLite Tutorial How To Create Windows XP Unattended CD, using nlite.
Hi Friends,
This is my new tutorial, to create Windows XP Unattended CD, this is an user friendly tutorial, with images for each and every step.
The WinXP CD Created Works Greatly without any error (tested on my PC), also the installation size is only 315MB, without removing any Visual Effects.

XP Installation Size : 315MB
Time Taken To Install : 14-17min

And Please Suggest Any Changes Needed

Thanks

^^^It's "too" stripped off.

The best ones with all "necessary" features size within 230-260MB.
