nLited XP installs for a cab

<< < (18/88) > >>

I have used TinyXP Beast sucessfully many times, it's great but lacks printer support - so "no go" for a home rig.

I have used "TinyXP rev 02" a few times, it's great for a home rig.

There is a trick with the naming, "final" is not the last one released. It goes in this order:

TinyXP final
TinyXP rev 01
TinyXP rev 02
TinyXP rev 03
TinyXP rev 04
TinyXP rev 05

I like Win2K and "TinyXP rev 02", both with "bashrat driver packs*" for home rigs. The driver packs installs almost all drivers, in most cases all. So after you install the OS you are done (no driver hunting) it's sweet.

Cheers,

Just finish Dling the FINAL and also the rev 5.

Which one should I burn ? I don't want to make 2 bootable cd's.

Should I stick with rev5 ?

I just want to run MAME with fast boot to FE.  Also want to use in a JUKEBOX too (next project).

spystyle:
I like "98se optimized" or "TinyXP Beast" for cabs and "98se optimized", Win2K or "TinyXP rev 02" for home rigs

You could fire the ISOs up in "Microsoft Virtual PC*"

I've tested about 25 different OS that way, it's much quicker than burning to CD then installing on a PII.

I downloded this TinyXp and created the CD for it. I grab myself one of my 20GB HD and try to install it FRESH. I have been thinking into going into XP w/MAME so, I wanted to give this a try.

Well this TINY does not even install.
This is whats done:
1. Created a partition on my 20GB
2. Formated it to NTFS
3. Then it copied wahtever it copies into the HD
4. SYSTEM REBOOTS

This is when this comes up after the Windows LOGO shows up:

" ERROR:
Installation failed: D:\I386\ASMS: Error mesages: Incorrect function


Fatal Erro:
One of the component that windows needs to continue setup could not be installed


Incorrect function: "


I tried 3 times with same error:

This is the TINYXP Beat Edition 666 Pirate Bay.

Ok I finally got the answer to this mystery. After I dloaded the other versions and tried, I still had the same problem.
The answer to it was:

IT WAS LOOKING FOR THE ORIGINAL XP and the i386\asms  is not on the the TINYXP cd. YOu have to use the original for the installation to continue.

*** EDIT ***  There is a folder I386\asms on the ISO/Burned CD.
/eof (EDIT)

I did not see any info about this anywhere, hence no one here knew about it. They probably had the original on the second cd drive during install.



Now, how do we get this to boot on 10sec ? I'm getting 20sec with 14/15 processes.

spystyle:
I don't know what you're doing wrong, but it's all wrong. I have installed it repeatedly and only used one disk.

Send me an e-mail and we can compare disks.

Cheers,
Craig
