Any coders out there? sysprep

Hey ....

When using a recovery DVD there is a folder that is created called sysprep. You will only see this after recovery complete…mount the drive in a External Hard Drive Enclosure.

I noticed on the 31M1 XP Recovery that is SP3. This is installed at boot from the sysprep folder.
Here is the script… Sp3inst.bat

@if "%1"=="" echo off

REM *******************************************************
REM SP3 Installer Check
REM *******************************************************
if not exist "c:\sysprep\WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-X86-???.exe" (
> "%~dpn0.vbs" echo WScript.echo "There is no SP3 Installer"
goto END
)

REM *******************************************************
REM Get SP3 Installer and Install SP3
REM *******************************************************
for /F "usebackq delims=" %%i in (`dir c:\sysprep\WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-X86-???.exe /b`) do (
set XP_SP3_COMMAND=%%i
)
start /w c:\sysprep\%XP_SP3_COMMAND% /quiet /norestart
> "%~dpn0.vbs" echo WScript.echo "SP3 Install End. --- Error Level: %ERRORLEVEL%"
set XP_SP3_COMMAND=
call c:\sysprep\sleep.vbs

REG DELETE "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Uninstall\Windows XP Service Pack" /f

:END
call "%~dpn0.vbs"
del /a "%~dpn0.vbs"

I would like to add this to other recovery images. I could not locate the script or bat to run this installation.. I tried just dropping the Sp3inst.bat and the WINDOWSXP-KB936929-SP3-X86-ENU EXE into a 30m2 sysprep folder. No luck.

I uploaded the two sysprep folders minus the sp3 update to make them 1.5 megs. I did leave notepad with this sp3 update just for reference.

Someone that can read cmd,vbs and bat files please take a look…. Download it here…

What are you trying to do? I am confused.. Why do you want to add this to recovery images?

 

The xp sp3 update would be installed at first boot...silent with no input. Just as it does with the 31M1

 

Use nlite to create a bootable XP install disk with SP3 slip-streamed. Just need an XP install disk to rip to a file, and download the SP3 file, and add the service pack to the ISO nlite creates. You can also use it to add Panasonic SATA drivers (or other drivers) to your install disk. Instructions included in links on left.

Thanks But I’m trying to mod the original recovery media. I am familiar with Slipstreaming and Nlite. I wish it was possible to update a recovery disk with these.

 

What software package did Panasonic use to make the recovery dvd?
If you can figure that out, then you may be able to modify the image.

 

It uses some form of Symantec to install the files...Here is a screen shot installing with the control c and the pqimgctr.exe command. More info on this command can be found here... http://beecherbowers.com/2011/01/22/panasonic-cf-t5-recovery-discs-part2/

 

Thanks for the link..I have wondered about the recovery DVD's on other mk's.

I cut and pasted the entire page on TBTalk in the recovery CD thread. My discussion on that subject will be moved over there.
