In all the systems in the last year, ( a few more than 200, like 5 or 6 sometimes in a day ), I have seen this ONCE. It was on my fathers computer! Case: New Seagate 160GB hard disk. I could not get the OnTrack Disk Driver to load, and as a result, nLite could not get ONE or TWO partitions. I had to boot Windows, and partition the drive, and then after it copied ONE file, I opened the CD drawer, then let it error until DEAD. Then I rebooted with the Seagate/OnTrack disk, and then booted with the nLite PE, and nLite was able to install. OnTrack is an .exe driver, that if you just copy the .sys file, no good. It needs to A) Write the partition table, B) Be on the boot disk ( or have the origional disk for the drive ) and C) be able to be loaded into memory. First I had partitioned the drive into two parts, 120GB System and Apps, and 40GB data, then later I used partiton Magic ( again, same thing: boot from Driver disk, then 'insert boot disk now' ), and made it 80GB for system and Apps, 3GB for a swap disk, and 76GB for data. What you should look at is A) Partitoning the disk beforehand with your boot CD, then opening the CD Drawer, when it copies files.... then wait until the disk stops writing, reboot with your nLite PE boot disk, and install the OS. This was a real head scratcher. What kind of computer? ( My dads is a Dell, cough cough cough )
