one problem is do we know for sure if there are anymore modified files. And will those modified file cause more problems later. and legally he is not allow to use an xp cd from another system, for his new one. Now realistically... it is a different story. I personally don't use nlite. Wouldn't it be easier to just purchase a WindowsXP Pro from Walmart, Kmart, Compusa, Circuit City, or whatever online store you like.
