Well after all the 3 days work on this, and the bother I caused, here is XP PRO SP1 running on the Virtual Drive within my windows desktop. HOW? don't ask me, sheer fluke. On the final desperate attempt, when it asked to press C to Format the Unallocated Partition, after pressing C I pressed ENTER and lo & behold the format and the intall started & completed. One major snag though. During the process it kept saying this and that file is not found and XP may not work, many many of them, but I kept pressing Enter to almost half way there, then it completed by itself. The final install is XP PRO SP1, which is not on. My CD was a Sleapstream of nLite XP PRO SP1 with SP2, MS Updates, and a lot of removals to slimm it down. All that seems to have been be lost and would like to know why. If I have to Repair the C:\ Windows one day, it will be pointles using this CD if I will end up with plain SP1. Have 3 days of hard work gone for nothing? Here is what I got, and works just like my True HD windows.
