This post will show you how to reduce winxp size with the nLite tool - a very popular tool to slimdown winxp.

Requirement :
- Windows XP installation disc or iso image file.
- Harddisk free space about 500MB to store temporily file copied from the installation disc.
- nLite tool
Steps in detail :
Download and install nLite to your PC and follow the wizard to finish. Some notice and screenshot :Select task and fill the information for unattend installation mode.

You can also use the iso image without burning it by using a Virtual Machine Management like VirtualBox.
After installing and turn off the page-file, the nlite-winxp just takes about 400MB. Very suitable to run on USB disk or in RAM ! Awesome.
