If you click Cancel (i.e. don't put in the CD), can you please check the event log and list which files it is trying to restore? Thanks. We need to determine if it is the SFC Fix method that is failing, or rather if it is just something simple like a file entry that has not been removed from the fixed SFC list. sorry man, i dont have to much experience with nlite, ill do that later for sure, altough if it helps when i created the identical install with nlite 1.35 few days ago it acted the same ...... ill post back in couple hours with the results ( altough like i said i dont got much experience with sliptreeming so i could also be doing something wrong, if thats possible)
