John, again...so much thanks for your help! Ok, a few points. 1. SATA/Raid drivers - i have both downloaded but when i go to choose the text mode driver for Intel ICH9R/ICH10R Driver it comes up with a huge list asking which i want to include, i think i'll need to refer back to my motherboard manual to ensure i get the correct one. 2. What do i need to do about hitting F6 during install? Is this something that interrupts an unattended installation? (just found this in the Unattended Guide, http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/view/web/36/ - i'll have a read through and see if this makes sense to me!!) 3. Hotfixes - i have used Autopatcher to download a list of fixes for SP3 - i guess i just need to add these to nlite in the correct order? 4. I've not changed any of the Network settings - i was hoping i could leave that and when i install Windows i'll be able to use my home wireless connection?

Ok, i'm not entirely sure which is my SATA driver... http://www.gigabyte.com.tw/Support/Motherb...?ProductID=2626 Looking at what i have installed already and my motherboard manual it's the GIGABYTE SATA2 RAID Driver (Preinstall driver) version 1.17.42.09g Edit: Attached my new Last Session.ini This looks more correct now - just to check though, does the SATA driver need to be first? LAST_SESSION.INI

John, thanks for you reply. I think i went a bit overboard with all the addons and updates last time and didnt really look into what i was doing! I'll run another nlite session. Thanks for pointing out the missing SATA driver! I've just checked and i'd missed it out, i have 3 SATA/Raid drivers for my motherboard I downloaded off the Gigabyte website, i'm not sure which is the exact SATA driver but i know i already have all 3 installed, so i'll slipstream all three too.

Hi guys - thanks for the info. It looks like from NLDRV all the drivers are there - guess i was a little paranoid i'd missed something! I've managed to run the WM11 slipstreamer now too, if i run nlite again how do i go about 're-making' my iso? I don't want it to pick up settings from before as i've looked through what i did and think there are some changes i can make. I've slipstreamed WM11 into my c:\xp_source, but that's exactly where i used nlite last time, will this cause issues? Also, i installed a huge amount of hotfixes there that i dont think i'll need. Thanks again. LAST_SESSION.INI

I recently used Nlite for the first time to customise my xp pro installer - i slipstreamed SP3 and added a bunch of my motherboard/gfx/wireless drivers. Once i had created the iso file i tested it out in Microsoft Virtual PC to check it would install ok and i noticed a few things. It said i was missing a file (mfplat.dll) which was required for Windows Media Player - I do vaguely remember seeing an error about media player but i think i skipped over it. Would missing this file cause an issue when i install XP Pro? When testing the iso in the VPC it doesn't appear to have any of my drivers installed, ie dlite wireless driver, nvidia graphics drivers, etc. I looked in the device manager, but because this is was running in VPC it didnt show my hardware, is there another way i could check it has definitely installed the drivers? Thanks for any advice you can lend
