Download Windows Unattended CD Creator 1.0.2 beta 10 - Windows Unattended CD Creator is a very small tool that helps you create an user-customized Windows XP bootable CD - Softpedia
After this install the software n get ready with your XP CD.Put your XP cd in your rom n open WUCD software(a folder with installation files of xp will also do)
Next click on “select target directory†and it will copy ur installation files to a folder specified. You can also select the service pack of any version you want to embed in it.
Next go to “unattended tabâ€. Here you can enter your info, cd key, company name, computer name. Also in sub-tabs below u can adjust or specify your LAN settings, Regional/Language settings, Time/Date settings & most important windows components that will b installed. Also you can give an Admin password. **Additonaly u can also leave that space blank if u want to enter name n info during installation.**
In the next “User†tab u can create multiple accounts.
In “Mod†tab you can replace any windows system files with specially modified versions.
Eg. The Uxtheme.dll file which is patched by Uxtheme patch n other.
Now in “Driver†tab u can select the drivers that are stored on ur hdd for your system. Drivers such as Display drivers,Audio,LAN,TV tuner cards etc can be selected from here which will b installed along with XP.
“Hotfixes†tab says it all here u can put your windows hotfixes patches dwnlded from windows site to b integrated in xp cd.
Now the most important tab the “Software†tab. Here u can select the softwares that u want xp setup to install along with ur normal installation.Also the additional option of “Install direct from source Don’t copy on discâ€is useful when u don’t want to increase XP disc size.**But mind u dat some softwares have a compatibility issue n wont b installed properly.as software is still in beta stages.but chances are less**. Also u can select order of software installation.
After everything is done n u feel u have stuffed all things..go to “Done†tab. Here u can remove the unwanted windows directory that occupy space on disc.**But I recommend keeping these directories**.Also the last thing u can select if u want the XP disc to b splitted in 2 or more discs or want a Single disc of u unattended os.**This is because the size of disc is gonna b greater than 700MB**.Lastly click on Create ISO button n there u go wid ur own HOME MADE XP DISC OF UR FLAVOR N SUTING YOUR REQUIRMENTS.
