@johnhc My bad, I am not familiar with all the technical terms but I reformatted my hard drive and installed the slipstreamed copy of Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3. @Ponch Wow I feel like an id***. I just tried installing Windows Xp from the origonal disk that I have been trying to slipstream and it rejected the key that came with it. Sorry for wasting your time guys

I do not understand sir. Could you please provide an explanation?

Yes it does and at first I slipstream from Windows Vista Ultimate SP2. Then I did it from Windows Home Server OEM SP2 EDIT: I have also done this with Windows XP SP3

Hello, I am having trouble with every windows installation that i have slipstreamed with nlite. I have slipstreamed both store bought copies of windows XP Home Edition SP2 and Dell Windows XP Home Edition SP2. Both have slipstreamed seamlessly. However, every time I reinstall windows (from either cd) I get an invalid cdkey error. Does anybody know why I am getting this error. I put the cd key in the components section (I think, where ever the place for it is) so that I do not have to write it onto the cd or anything.
