no, nothing removed, copy from CD is OK finally, you can try my example with font.inf (use font.inf from original CD and then font.inf from nlite CD ) another examle: if you install SNMP service from original installed system, you don't need installation CD but if you use system installed from nlite CD, windows requires installation CD for successful installation SNMP service exist a lot of similar examles I work with nlite long time and in earlier versions nlite these problems don't exist
