*sigh*, okie, thanks! =]

This is sooooo strange! Because while in Windows, I am able to read and execute stuff off the nLite created CD with no problem. It even auto-plays and everything. as for the CD's, I'm using a brand new spindle of TDK's so that shouldn't be it - especially since I've burned a whole mess of other stuff with that same spindle with no problem. The CDROM drive itself and DVDRW drive are my old trusty Plextor Premium and DVDRW..... no issues ever... Could it have something to do with my system tweaks within nLite?

I'm kinda new to this thing... what's a VPC? As for the previous session, I removed a whole mess of stuff (I normally would use LitePC to remove them but decided to remove them here... maybe that made the difference) [Main] Env = 1.2.1 - 2.0.50727.42.Microsoft Windows NT 5.0.2195 Service Pack 4 Target = Windows 2000 Professional SP:4 - 5.0.2195.6717 - English (United States) [Tasks] Remove Components Integrate Drivers Hotfixes and Update Packs Tweaks Create a Bootable ISO Options [Components] ;# Applications # Accessibility Options Briefcase ClipBook Viewer Defragmenter Games NT Backup Paint Pinball Screensavers Wordpad ;# Drivers # Asynchronous Transfer Mode (ATM) IBM PS/2 TrackPoint IBM Thinkpad ISDN Logitech WingMan Microsoft SideWinder MultiFunctional Printers Scanners SCSI/RAID Sound Controllers Tape drives Toshiba DVD decoder card Wireless Ethernet (WLAN) ;# Languages # ;Arabic Arabic (Algeria) Arabic (Bahrain) Arabic (Egypt) Arabic (Iraq) Arabic (Jordan) Arabic (Kuwait) Arabic (Lebanon) Arabic (Libya) Arabic (Morocco) Arabic (Oman) Arabic (Qatar) Arabic (Saudi Arabia) Arabic (Syria) Arabic (Tunisia) Arabic (U.A.E.)

So I ran nLite and it seemed to work until the point where I tested it by booting from the CD. When the system showed "Boot from CDROM:" .... it just stuck there. Got a system hang and nothing. I tried to re-burn the CD at a slower speed, but still no go. I also tried to create the ISO first, then burn after. Then ISO first, unzip with WinRAR, burn directly with my own CD burning program. Can anyone provide some guidance as to a reason why it won't boot?
