nope still a coaster, i think i stuffed-up somewhere along the way when i was adding drivers in nlite. when it was trying to integrate them i accidently deleted some of the folders that contained drivers it was looking for. I quickly recreated the folders with the right drivers etc but i think the damage had already been done. Anyways i had another nlite creation that was less complex that i;ve now brunt (fits on a cd instead of a dvd) and am looking forward to trying tommorrow. Trying to get bootcamp goin on my mac mini

apologies, i think this has turned out to be imageburn thats at fault. Used 1 of the media that i thought was a coaster and its now burned and booting successfully. Yet to try a few other things on some other cds and if they also work (the only variable changed is the burn software) then I can safely say its imageburn thats the prob. sorry for wasting anyones time!? cheers, jed

I;ve tried creating two different iso's, the second was much simpler; intergrated sp2 only plus a few componants removed (didnt use the lite preset) and a few other tweaks. Neither of the two boot or mount on my mac mini or my windowsXP workstation (amd64) i used the standrrd iso/bootable format and used image burn to burn the two iso's any idea what the heck;s going on? thanks, jed

Awesome, So it wont increse the size of the final installation, just the size of eveyrthing thats on the CD? How much will it increase the size of the cd? couple hundred MB? Is nlite the only tool one needs to create a fully unattended install with all the latest servicepacks, hotfixes, & driverpacks? My understandig is it's not just a slipstreamer, but it also allows one to remove vast chunks of XP not needed. Is that pretty much it, or is there more to it? Apart from the default profiles for removal of componants etc. Are there 3rd party ones made-up be people who have tested their work? Cheers, Jed

Hi, I can't find my bloody original XP Pro CD... I noticed as I was going through nLite that it says if I want to integrate SPs, I should only add the newer of the two. Unfortuntely my only XP Pro source CD already has SP1 integrated. :-( Will it still work without complications if I go ahead and slipstream SP2 into this XPro w/SP1 source CD? Sincerely, Jed P.S love your work, and will make a dontation if everything goes smoothly.
