Hello again, I can build my CD's just great now.... only missing two critical updates (VM And Dx9 patch). One thing I'd like do still however..... Integrate the serial number into my XP Pro CD. (my serial# is part of a MS-Select license, so I can be used over and over again.). My goal is to help the IS staff at branch locations..... some have a hard time reading, and typing, the 25 character serial correctly. Any suggestions? thanks!
