Re: over size Windows XP SP3 slipstreamed with driverpack

you can use a program like nLite to remove unneeded files from your original OS (XP)
such as games or windows tour ect...
most of us have moved to dvd installs as it has become increasingly difficult to make it fit in 700 meg.
that and dvd readers are less than 20 bucks each.

Also check your i386 folder for any sp2.cab or sp1.cab files and delete them. wink
