using idff/ida and the idiff.xml

[black_13]

I am trying use ida to place a patch on existing system.
my steps are as follows.
I have a dual boot system running system with two partions. The first
partition
is drive C and the second partition is drive D. Drive C contains the
XPe firmware that has procedded normally through the FBA process.
Drive D is windows XP service pack 2 and the idiff and ida tools. i
can place new firmware trials on the C drive.
what i have done is created a directory called D:\WMI
with the directories .\before .\after .\output.

..\before does not contain the wmi binaries i need
..\after does contain the wmi binaries i need
..\output contains the idff output.
Both .\before .\after contains Windows, "Program Files", and
"Documents and Settings" directories.
The .\output directory was created by running:

$> idiff ./source:d:\wmi\before /dest:d:\wmi\after /output:d:\wmi
\output

i am currenly applying my idiff patch from the running XP SP2 in the
following manner.

$> ida d:\output\idiffout.xml /dest:c:

this is indeed applying the necessary changes and show no errors in
applying the patch.
however it destroys the machines networking.
what registry subkeys must be avoided or filtered in idiff.xml to
prevent this from
happening or can it?
thanks
