No all I did was copy my original OEM DVD to the hard drive and use your program to slipstream SP1 into it and it installed. Prior to the slipstream I also had to remove a 2 gig strip to make it work. As for the BSOD sometimes it would happen after it booted the cd and just after the Microsoft progress bar then other times it would go as far as selecting the drive for installation and on others it would go right through to the reboot and then BSOD
