I'm glad I'm not the only one with this problem.. Try using ROXIO GOBACK its a lot better than windows restore and a lot more reliable

or just do a search for xp key changer

there is a tool you can get from kazzaa or winmx it will allow you to easally change you key it is normaly called SP1 HACK OR WINDOWS KEY CHANGER or you can get a tool from here just download and run http://michaelstevenstech.com/xppid.zip

I have found that nero sometimes unticks the expert settings box on the boot tab after you have dragged and dropped the files. when you are ready to burn click back to the boot tab and make sure enable expert settings is ticked and the options set to kindof emulation no emulation boot message nero boot loader load segment of sectors 07C0 number of load sectors 4 hope that helps

Thank you yes it is sr1 I will try that out in a while
