I think I only posted my problem in this only thread. Please check again in your Ryan Sp3 1.03 DL if ntfs.sys is there. If not, your DL is definitely a wrong one. Ask yourself what file you DL (don't provide link as it's a wrong one). Try yourself if you can change a file name from lower case to capital easily. If yes post how so others can benefit. My solution, which may be stupid, I had to change the file name to something else (whatever is different than the original), than change it back to capitalized. If you simply change from lower case to capital, it won't work. Windows is so smart to find you haven't actually changed the file name and it won;t accept only the case change. if it is your first time you've heard a file had to be in all capitals, take more look in this forum first. I always start nlite with fresh copy and in one session and I don't integrate SP--It's already there. I only integrated Ryan's 1.03. I had the solution of changing that 'non-existing' ntfs.sys to capitals but my post is more to know why it's like this.
