"extracting" WinXP from Dell disc
I want to format and do a fresh install on my Dell Dimension
some-number-or-other. Now--is there a way to extract or install ONLY Windows from the Dell recovery disc, or do I have to suck up the bloatware and then track it down and kill it? Alsok if somebody could direct me to simple instructions for creating a slipstream disc of Windows Updates I would appreciate it. Thanks! Chuck

"extracting" WinXP from Dell disc
Well--crap.
OK, then--howzabout creating an "install" disk of downloaded updates, so as not to sit through a month of Sundays babysitting downloads after the fresh install? I'm pretty sure I've seen reference to that someplace, but I'm having trouble finding it.

If you don't have a true Windows XP CD (or close approximation) then N-Lite or Autostreamer are useless. Still no matter how much work it is, no matter how long it takes you and what suggestions us use to de-crapify the system and load updates or whatever... I suggest you look into some way to then image the hard drive with that virgin clean OS. If it takes you a day to get that machine where you like it, compare that to a restore from an image taking less than 30 minutes. Think about the payoff.

Galen It doesn't make a "Windows disk", it makes a "return my machine to the state it was in when I bought it" disk. Big difference.
