Same story with MSDN version of W2003 Server. Need to integrate SAS 6 RAID driver for Dell R200 server because it does not have a floppy drive and W2003 Setup does not recognize USB ones that I can get. Tried nLite many times and now I'm simply testing the resulting .ISO within a VM - saves time. After finding the last reply I thought here it was - the solution... But after careful examination of the driver files I do not find any 'EULA.TXT' or references to it - so in my case nothing to remove!? But the craziest is this: I decided to check first if no changes at all would make Setup happy. So I fed a freshly copied \I386 folder to nLite (1.4.9.1), and asked it to make a bootable .ISO - no other tweaks at all. In a minute it's ready, and I hook the .ISO to the VM. W2003 Setup starts, gets to the point "press Enter to continue", I do .. and find myself looking at the dreaded "cannot find EULA.." message again!! There must be something else, and it has to be somehow linked to nLite. Don't get me wrong - I love the tool, just feel there's a little glitch. The same MSDN DVD (2939.3) has an .ISO of that disk. When that .ISO is hooked into VM W2003 Setup displays EULA and is able to continue. The same image burned onto the CD runs past that point on the target R200, but stops with the message "no harddrives detected" - expected without RAID driver. The DVD itself is not bootable! Previous DVD (2939.2) was bootable, but it results in not even a GDR but a regular RTM installation - not R2, which it says on the label!? So far my only choice is to find a USB-floppy recognizeable by Setup (and there're only 3 VID-PID combinations that are listed in Q916196). Does anybody have any ideas? All I wanted was to burn a setup CD with slipstreamed drivers for that server... Once...
