Looks great, I will definatly use it if it's out before XP sp2, good work!

*Feture request (already): could you make the option to add an extra folder to the cd? That would be eaiser than editing the ISO to add in extra stuff (though I can't remember how much space there is left after XP and SP2 is put together).

Zetter,

That was my suggestion, as far as shrinking the iso by deleting non-essential XP folders like DOC, SUPPORT, LANG, etc. to allow the addition of custom folders to be added (ie $OEM$). It would be nice to incorporate these things before building the .iso image.

I don't think they are looking to have Autostreamer do these types of things.

So this is just a GUI for slipstreaming service packs? :unsure:

Seems like a lot of work just to let people avoid the command line... :p

I'm going to have to jump on the bandwagon and throw my vote in for adding unattended install features. (Y)

Don't get me wrong it's a decent app for the command line novice, I just hope it grows into a tool for the professional tinkerers as well. :)

Just for the "avoiding the command line"??

Don't you also have to extract the boot loader from the Windows installation CD?? Don't you have to install other (not free) software to do that? Do you have to have burning software that allows you to add that loader to your CD?? So....instead of having to install additional software, and have to buy Nero (which I'm sorry is the only software I've found that allows you to add a loader) you can use this. This save people many steps and installations. I'm pretty sure that SlipXP is supposed to do the tasks you ask for anyways. We are not competing with SlipXP. This is just supposed to be a simple tool I asked Raptor for help with so that people that are using my project can easily create an XP CD with SP1 or SP2 included. He also added the features so that people with 2000 or 2k3 can use this also. He was nice enough to take this project up for me and I greatly appreciate it!! :D

Alright then, it's just a prettied-up version of WINCDMAN, which has been around for years and it's what I use to make bootable slipstreamed CDs. As for Nero being the "only software that allows you to add a loader" even Roxio's EasyCD Creator will do that... Again, I hope that some features make it into this software so it's useful to more than the novice user.

Well my project isn't about this new side project "AutoStreamer." I asked Raptor for help about this type of software and he decided to help me out and create it. I would really prefer it to stay simple. I am trying to help people with my project and want to empower them to play with their PC's more so they learn more about them. No my project isn't aimed at Newbies but I know that a lot will check it out and I want to provide them the tools they need. I think this simple tool will help them build confidence that they can do something complicated (to them) and will help them want to do more on their computers. I really do not feel like fighting in the forum so I will just leave it at this.

Don't want to sound stupid but.... what's AutoStreamer ? :unsure:

In a nutshell it's a software program that Raptor is working on that will slipstream (or merge, if you will) a Windows Service Pack into a Windows installation CD. When finished it outputs a file that you can run through your CD burner software to create a bootable CD that contains the Windows installation merged with the service pack. The CD will allow you to install Windows with the service pack already installed which saves quite a bit of time when you create or rebuild a computer.

I've already slipstreamed SP2 RC2 with a beta version of AutoStreamer and the system is doing fine. I haven't had the chance to play with everything but it seems to be running good. AutoStreamer is very stable and the several beta's I've tested in the past few weeks have been very good. I think it's getting really close to 1.0 being released and ready for everyone to download.

I have tried this and did everything per the instructions and everything says it went ok. burned the iso to cd and re-formatted but it did not install sp2. I have the final version and using my restore cd that came with my PC. Is this why it didnt work ? Can you not use a restore cd ? Is there something i need to do differently ?

    • Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order

      By pradeepviswav · Posted

      Anthropic pulls Fable 5 and Mythos 5 after US export control order by Pradeep Viswanathan In April this year, Anthropic launched the Claude Mythos Preview frontier model with state-of-the-art cyber and coding capabilities for a select set of companies around the world. After preparing appropriate guardrails, early this week, Anthropic launched Claude Fable 5 and Mythos 5, its most capable AI models. Claude Fable 5 is for general users and comes with strict safeguards, while Mythos 5 is designed with fewer safeguards for cybersecurity and biology use cases. Today, Anthropic abruptly suspended access to its Fable 5 and Mythos 5 AI models for all customers after receiving an export control directive from the US government. The company received the directive from the government today at 5:21 p.m. ET, and the received letter did not provide any details regarding the national security concern. Anthropic understands that the government became aware of a method to bypass, or “jailbreak,” Fable 5, which might be the reason behind the directive. The order was issued under national security authorities and requires the company to suspend all access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 by any foreign national, whether they are inside or outside the United States. The restriction also applies to foreign national employees working at Anthropic. As a result, the company has disabled both models for all customers to ensure compliance. Access to previous Anthropic models like Opus and Sonnet is not affected by this government order. The company highlighted that it had developed strong safeguards to reduce the possibility that Fable is misused for tasks related to cybersecurity. In fact, many developers are complaining that the safeguards are going overboard. Additionally, the company worked with the US government, the UK AISI, multiple private third-party organizations, and internal teams to red-team Fable’s safeguards for thousands of hours. Finally, Anthropic noted that no testers have yet been able to find a universal jailbreak on Fable 5. As expected, Anthropic disagrees that a narrow potential jailbreak should lead to the recall of a commercial model used by hundreds of millions of people. It warned that applying this standard across the AI industry could effectively halt new frontier model deployments. Anthropic concluded by mentioning that it is working to restore access to Fable 5 and Mythos 5 as soon as possible and plans to share more details within the next 24 hours.
