[Request] Would like to make custom XP install

Recommended Posts

Hello everyone, I have 5 old computers that I'm donating to a local charity. Before I donate them I'd like to wipe and install windows XP on them...

I don't want to have to do this five times so I'm looking to create a single installation disk that has all the stuff I want to install... List below.

I have seen some of these addons here and elsewhere and was wondering if I should just collect them all and then add them via nlite or if I should try and create a single addon pack??? Advice would be nice...

That is very honourable of you, however, unless you are also going to donate five licenses of Windows XP, you shouldn't install it on the PCs, then give them away.

While it may still be generous of you to equip the new owners with a system that works out of the box and features a well-known and still popular OS, you'd also make them use warez and they may not even know it!

In your case, unless the required licenses are included, you'd be better of either installing no OS at all and just donating the HW or installing a Linux distribution, possibly the newbie-friendly Ubuntu, to keep the new owners out of potential trouble.

Anyway, not trying to teach you about software licenses, just giving a friendly advice in case you overlooked the problematic.

Maybe the new owners (a school possibly) already owns a couple of licenses for XP and has some to spare - then you could of course preinstall without fear.

It may be best to check this beforehand.

I certainly do not want a generous donator be accused of spreading warez :/
