This is a strange problem. I have been using nlite customized windows for couple of years, now when i want to revert back to original windows xp again - the xp installer hangs just before you get to the format/partition area. STOP: 0x0000007B etc... The strange thing is that if put on my nlite customized windows cd and try the same thing - everything works! I tried deleting all partions from nlite win setup and then putting real windows disk but same problem. How can i erase my disks fully now?? If i do it from nlite windows setup it still doesnt work??? Is there some boot-cd you can burn that completley erases everything so i can install original windows again? Please help.

Great! Second question. This key im using came from an old Windows XP Professional CD without any service packs. Is it possible to use this valid key with a new service packed Win XP cd? Or does it have to be exactly that version of windows (non serviced..)

The thing is this, i had a valid Windows XP cd & key that i used to make a customized Nlite installation CD. However, now i am in the situation to have lost the old valid XP cd & key with it, and want to install windows 100% original again. So is there a way to extract the product key from the Nlite Windows CD? That would be of great help to me. Sorry for any bad english.
