I strongly think it's option -b as HP tech support just told me to use any other installation CD with S/N from my sticker.

The nLiting went very well with i386 from the installed version (C:\), the backed-up version (DVD) of i386 is useless for it indeed encrypted as 70runner stated. However i did an drivers integration into nLite and it skipped the graphic cards driver for some reason (ATI radeon express 200m), so it's might be not safe for this particular card model. I wonder why is the cd-key different from the one on the sticker though? p.s. .net framework setup is in a different location (not in CMPNENTS folder) in hp notebooks. The step-by-step by faimag worked great. Thanks, Sasha

Thank you faimag, I will try this today. Tried with i386 folder on recovery DVD - doesn't work, but my girlfriend has HP notebook too with "real" CD of windows so it might work. Thanks, Sasha

Is it possible to create nLite installations for Windows XP home with OEM structure - (no installation CD, the Windows is integrated into the system). Supplied by hp for example. Thanks, Sasha
