Hello! Like everyone else I'm working on making my custom version of Windows for recovery and learning purposes. Nice to meet you.

Please disregard topic. Appearently trying to initiate an install of Windows XP from within another version of Windows, wasn't a good idea. Finally after creating a disc I got it to boot and installed it to another partition I had created. Please close topic.

OK here's what I got so far, I'm using Windows XP Home OEM SP2 cd Custom PC is running Windows XP Home OEM SP2 nLite version 1.3RC2 The issue is it doesn't matter whether or not I pick hide pages or fully unattended, at anytime if I run the winnt32.exe /makelocalsource option or execute the setup.exe file from within windows, it never seems to recognize the CD Key. Yes I've triple checked the Key squence. :S Also, the unattended light is green. What's really strange is the newly created disc won't boot. When I pop in the disc and reboot I get to the "Press Any Key" prompt, but then after pressing a key the pc stops. I've tried burning the newly created windows files using "Direct Burn" and "Create ISO" option. Both options tried several times on a DVDRW and a CD-R disc using different burn speeds. So it looks like to be two different issues that might or might not be interconnected. When I get home I'll try different release versions to be if I and duplicate the issue. I believe I've tried 1.3 RC and 1.3 RC2. P.S. Actually Would that be the cause of the whole fiasco? I read that from unattended.msfn.org website.

Yea I ran through the options and saw that "unattended" was green. I'll try again and post what I got.

Programs: Windows XP SP2 CD nLite 1.3 RC2 When I ran the unattended install option, I put in what my CD Key was in the tweak options I believe. Running the install, the install still asked me to put in the CD Key. I first encountered the non-bootable disc issue but using a DVD+RW disc and a blank CD-R and still getting the same issue, I went ahead and used the winnt32.exe /makelocalsource option managed to get the install going. I'll try the new Santa 2 patch when i get home from work. Thanks everyone.
