At the time i was reading up on it, the only people that had tried and were claiming good results were fellow OCX mods who basically looked like they were sucking OPB's nuts

What fibs? Never mate

Something like immediately after a fresh install, and he really stressed this point in his dialogue.

Yeah, I read that. He also stressed using a non-default RAID 0 stripe block size saying that was what finally got him sub 9sec iirc.

He was saying basically, install windows, install only necessary stuff then run OPBCleaner.bat and it cleans out all the windows install temp and similar crap(caches too?).

Of course I have NFI what it all means really

I've got the OBPCleaner.bat if anyone wants it. Same as yours dinos

This is all it is, just copy this into notepad and save as .txt then change file extension to .bat and double click.

@echo off
echo OPB is cleaning your garbages in your computer, please wait......

I've tried to make a light 2k3 but after finishing the installation, the OS doesn't load. It craches everytimes during loading.

It might be a matter of driver.

I know how to fix that! Don't use 2k3

nLite works great with XP, so try that?

I've made a light XP but 2k3 is faster than XP for Spi... so I'd like to try a light 2k3 which can be faster than a light XP.

Xavier, I've not dealt with 2k3 so all I can suggest is to go through the tweaks you made in Nlite and check that you haven't removed something essential, it's not difficult to accidentally remove something critical so you have to be real careful. Also some drivers (GPU in particular) can be problematic when slipstreamed into the install so that might be a good place to start. There are also forums at the Nlite site where you might be able to find further info on what might be causing the problem.

I've read that installing to a virtual machine can help to iron out any little quirks and errors like that, but I don't know much about VM's either sorry. If and when you do find out what the problem is let us know what the problem was as it's valuable info to help everyone avoid the pitfalls.

Good luck getting it going mate, I shudder to think what crazy times you'll pull with a fully butchered and optimised OS.
