Customise your Windows XP installation disc with nLite

Screengrab_106 Windows XP is far more customisable than most people realise. For instance, OEM PC manufacturers customise their Windows XP installer CDs and refer to them as a 'restore CD' so, if you ever need to re-install Windows XP, the process is as automated as quick as possible. How do they do this? They customise the original Windows XP install CD - they add their own logo, serial code, localisation, drivers required for the system and more.

nLite 1.3 will enable you to customise your own original Windows XP CD. Better still, you can add your own specific drivers (essential if you have a serial ATA drive), Windows updates, your serial code and much more. If you have the original Windows XP, you can even bring it up and beyond Service Pack 2 level, essential for installing on Apple's Bootcamp, for example. Download nLite 1.3.
