These are the components I DON’T remove with nLite (140MB ISO).

When in doubt, don’t remove these components, most of them are critical for Windows, no matter what your hardware or software needs are.

I didn’t understood. Did you removed all drivers?
November 20th, 2007 at 4:34 pm
Yes, I remove all drivers.
If I need a driver I just integrate it in the CD with nLite or install it later on.

and do you uncheck and keep all needed components which are prompted by nlite?

No, I don’t keep them
