I have regular winxp pro, but would like to a use a super-slimmed down version of it to put in an embedded device for my senior project next year.
Is it possible to make such a version from my xp?

Better try Embedded XP

How slim? What do you need to run? The minimum requirements for Windows XP Pro are here
You'll have to buy another Windows XP license. Does it have to be Windows? Depending on your requirements it might be worth looking at Linux.

The answer is XPE (Windows XP Embedded), see your dear Microsoft representative. You will get a standard XP but with a tool to reconfigure it to remove all unused components. However "super-slimmed down" is perhaps a little too aggressive with XP... Alternatives are CE and Linux... Cheers,

In other words, there's no point in doing this for your senior year project unless you can do it in some new or better way than XPE. It's typically required for senior projects to be unique.

reconfigure
project
typically
I didnt say it was my senior project. My embedded application rns on a PC-104 card (x86 based) and Id like to add an OS.
Has it got to be Windows XP? It largely depends on what you want your operating system to do, but how about going back to Windows 98? You can slice that down to very small sizes, but 98 isn't the most stable of platforms. A small Linux distro may be a better way to go.

Try Look at
The Win98 freeware version was good, but I think the XP versions requires a full install first, which can then be pared back to be smaller.
A possible better way would be to use Barts PE Builder
This allows you to build a WindowsXP like system, but you need to specify what you want it to do, it is not really general purpose.
