Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs questions

Post by LuKaWin10 »

Hello, where and how can I get driverpacks for Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs if they even exist. And if they do, how do I slipstream them and what program do I use? Thanks

Windows FLP is heavily based on Windows XP (the first release being based on SP2 and the last release on SP3), so pretty much all XP drivers should work fine on FLP.

Alright, thanks, but, 1 question though, what program can I use to make the windows FLP iso and then make a bootable CD? Also, i made a MicroXP folder with slipstreamed drivers, but I don't know how to make a bootable iso, and how do I make it bootable? If you can answer this, then what would be great! ;)

You can't do it easily, you need to repack WIM.
But there is another problem - FLP's WIM structure isn't the same as Windows Vista+ WIM. You need at least Longhorn ximage, write own post-deployment script for device: detect and install, copy drivers into correct directories, repack as WIM again...
Better drop that idea. It takes too much time.

Nevermind, dropping the idea, it seems way to complicated and I can't do that type of thing, I am 15, and I barely know the Win7 Kernel i learnt back in 5th grade, don't have much time, might just install FLP in a VM or do something else with FLP

Lol I never even knew that I thought the WIM was made from XP mainly and 9x series

Considering the fact that FLP development started in 2004, ximage-based WIM is not weird to me, also the WIM on FLP is not packed the same way Vista is (apparently), each feature uses its own index
