Ok lets see if i can post this problem so you all can understand it. Ok I downloaded the Nlite v1.41 and the Service Pace SP2 IT version from Microsoft Website. and the RVMUpdatePack2.1.11 (hotfixes) I sould have everything to be ready to go ? Ok then I mafe Three Directories form Root Drive <SP2> <XPCD> <Updates> Ok Running Nlite and ask for the XPCD no problem copies the XPCD to the root drive DIR <XPCD> good then I hit next did not add anything to the next screen then ask for the service pack then I selected the service pack and it copies it to my other and verfies the extract of SP2 but instead of it extracting to the dir I mad <SP2 it goes to G:\number and lettered directory that the SP2 extract to on its own I figured this would really not be and issue and when its done extracting Nlite just sits there on the screen saying its slipstreaming Ok so I wait and wait and wait ...... still waiting but nothing is happening I cannot even select a thing on my desktop I cannot do any thing at all I do not get any errors no pop ups no warnings of any kind at all it just sits there on screen slipstreaming but I see no activity at all going on?? I let it run like this for severals hours but still cannot get to the next screen for the hotfixes. Also on the Nlite screen I'm only selecting the SP2, hotfixes, Bootable CD nothing else. The only way I can get out of it is to reset the system -> which is really not a good idea.. this is farily a new machine and is completely updated with all the MS updates and patcches etc ... latest Video drivers, DirectX latest intel 2.8Ghz 1.5 gig ram 250 HD plenty of room. Is there something alse that is need to get the sP2 pack to intergrate into the <XPCD> to move on o add the Hotfixes and finish up. I have tried this same method and still does not work its as if NLite hangs but logs say it did did not. I would really like to do this to make a new XPCD. Ok so hopefully someone can help me out. Nlite came form there website SP2 came from MS website HotFixes came from RyanVM website Any one out there help me out?? ....peace speedy
