Thanks for all your help guys Actually nLite specifically asked me, when it was done copying my 1st cd, to insert my 2nd disk. I purposely elected not to assuming that nLite would retain the prompt that normally happens during install. It appears it does not so when I get home I will have to have a dvd ready and try again. I will post my results when/if i succeed.

My intention here is to keep it very simple. I have a folder full of my RAID drivers that I need to slipstream into the MCE install because the F6 option will not work for me without the floppy. All i need to know if if all i do is elect to add drivers to the install (leave all other options for modification unchecked) and I let nLite copy my 2nd disc with the Components folder, will I be left with a single install DVD that will properly install the OS completely intact? Does nlite properly, ON ITS OWN, integrate the 2nd cd into the 1st? Please note that i tried this but i opted to not copy the Components folder because I didnt have any dvds. I was able to install just fine but i was never prompted to insert the 2nd cd. When it completed i was left with regular windows pro with MCE, IE, and probably more things missing. I plan on buying blank dvds today so I would like to know proper procedure so I dont waste DVDs.

I'm reading in many places that MCE 2005 will not slip stream properly leaving people with missing programs including media center. Will nLite fully slip stream MCE on its own without additional file tweaks? If there are some, what are they? I'm only needing to slip stream because my motherboard has no IDE floppy connection and i need to load RAID drivers.
