ok, thanks. So I have misunderstood. We are a repair shop, got several pc-s for fixing from big customer who has a volume xp licence. Got the cd-s from them, and thought we could streamline the process using nlite unattended with sp3, only adding drivers via F6 for the different machines. Hope we have done nothing wrong so far with regards to licence. Is it ok to continue using nlite only slipstreaming sp3, or should we stop using it all together ?

Ok, so its not right to use an already slipstreamed source xp-cd. So I tried an original xp.cd as source to nlite, integrated first sp2, then sp3. Then put in xp-key for unattended install, and finally make the iso. Did NOT integrate the sata.driver, because this xp-key is a corp licence for install on many pc-s. Therefore I wanted a general install-cd where I can insert different drivers via F6 at install time. So all went well and cd was burned via nero. BUT: Installing XP from this cd, using F6 for promise sata-driver, still results in the before mentioned "ulsata2"- error after "starting windows". Guess nlite does not support F6 drivers, and that they have to be integrated first ? Or did I make a mistake integrating SP2 before sp 3?

Have a previous created cd with xp and sp2 integrated (produced via "Barts pe-builder"). This has worked very good. Now I use Nlite to also integrate sp3 and at the same time put in the product code for unattended install. Everything runs fine. burn afterwords with nero. The New Cd boots fine, startup ok, press F6 for install 3-party sata-driver from diskette, it asks for it, displays "Promise...", accepts it (ulsata2), runs further until "starting windows". Then : "cannot find ulsata2 on the cd" ! Never had such problems before on cd-s produced via "barts pe-builder". Is it not ok to slipstream sp3 on top of sp2 ???? regards maxsoft
