Windows Essential XP SP3 - Updated! Now Incl. SATA Drivers! Windows Essential XP SP3 - x86
This is a slimmed down version of XP to the bare essentials but still remains fully functional. Over 300mb of crap removed from a real genuine XP ISO and added some important software (see below) to make a very complete OS.
This is my own version and not in anyhow related to the other Essential XP. The name is something I thought of right after I made this and at the time I didn't know there was another with the same name.
At no point will you need to enter a serial during installation. The original ISO is from an ETH0 Student Edition release so there is no need to worry about WGA. This has been tested on VirtualBox/VMWare numerous times without errors. All your applications, games and everything will work just fine.
UXTheme.dll has been patched to allow 3rd party themes. USB mouse polling rate increased to 500Hz for smoother mouse movement while gaming. Pointer precision enhancement disabled (all gamers rejoice!). Max TCP half-open connections raised to 100.
No languages have been removed.
As of 25/05/2008 Drivers for the most popular SATA/RAID Controllers have been added as part of the install. No more need to Press F6 to load drivers.
Since many keep asking me this question. No other drivers have been added! Drivers that have been removed can be seen in the list of removed components below.
IMPORTANT: You will need to backup your drivers if you don't have them!
THE INSTALLATION MAY TAKE ANYWHERE FROM 10 TO 30 MINUTES DUE TO THE .NET FRAMEWORK! PLEASE BE PATIENT WHILE INSTALLING!
Screenshots:
I will try to update the ISO as new versions of these apps are released. I am open to suggestions on more things to add. If you find any problems while installing please PM me.
