This post might help. I usually use Bootable CD Loader, but if that doesn't work try Smart Boot Manager.

Yes, yes it does... I was able to finally compile the ISO and install a fully working XP installation in VMWARE. So not only did it work, it worked quite well I might add... I ran into a few missing file problems during text mode... but knowing how dfficult it is to prevent them (at least back when I did some of this manually it was), I understand how easy it would be to miss a few... and I also ran into a few missing files during the Driver installation and Installing Network steps... But the later was also expected, as I unchecked all MS Drivers If it helps you any I could probably provide this list of "Missing Files" pretty easily. Anyway, incredible job, not only was I astonished when I saw that the final size of the resulting ISO file was only 158MB, the booting of textmode setup and the installaton was also dramatically faster.... Thanks so much, I'm sure this tool will only improve over time and gain a large "cult" following much like Bart's PeBuilder....

OK... it finally compiled by using version 1.0 (Beta 9.3) - (28.05.2004) This naming structure still has me confused...

@ bonedaddy Thanks, but this version didn't help my problem either.... I forgot to mention that I am trying to build using Windows XP SP2 RC1 as the source... not sure if that makes a difference in respect to my problem. Update: I think I discovered my problem... one or more of the xp source files must have been corrupted... as I copied everything from the CD again, and then slipstreamed (manually, as in not using nlite for this step) again also... So, so far so good... its just odd that I was able to use this same "corrupted" copy to install Windows XP SP2 RC1 a number of times without even a hiccup.... OK... nevermind... now it is stuck at step "Processing files: - hivesys.inf" Another very small thing I did notice though, is that although it is kind of hard to explain, the GUI in version 0.94 acts strange... When you move the mouse up and do along the components menu, the selection follows it, and plays the default Windows sound...

I have aquired the newsest version, beta 9.3, but this problem persists And thanks for the tip, nuhi, but unchecking the Manual Installation Support option did not help Any advice would be much appreciated. Until then, I will keep trying other things...

Hello everyone, I am the same Trog from such forums as 911cd.net (BartPE) and AMDZone. I was very surprised to see such a tool available, and ever since the days of 98lite I have been hoping that it would become a reality. For years I have been doing this the manual way, with the help of such processes as the one described here http://home.earthlink.net/~vorck/, as well with some of my own. So thanks to nuhi I won't have to do it the hard way anymore Thanks so much... Only one little problem though, the popularity of this program seems to have made it widely unavailable. I would at least have used version 0.94, and wait for mirrors to become available. Unfortunatly though, this version seems to suffer from a bug, previously mentioned in this thread that causes it to "hang" when reaching the step "Building File Lists" under Windows 2000. Anyway, to get to the point, I would glady offer to host the newest version(s) of this wonderful program on both my free ISP Web Space and my personal FTP. If someone is willing to send it to me, and nuhi doesn't have a problem with me doing so, that would be great. Thanks again, Trog
