I solved my problem by moving the nLite op to another PC. Because the ACER has a SATA HD, and XP SP1 is pre-SATA, a driver has to be slip-streamed. I don't know how to do that manually, so nLite was a must. Obviously, the CD writer on my PC has a problem that I didn't know about. But thanks ot John and GL for attempting to help. Tim

If this is not the right forum for this, I apologize. I haven't been able to find a forum that seems exactly right for this problem. I have an ACER 5515 laptop, which I'm trying to upgrade from Vista to XP_SP2(Home). ACER has not, and probably never will, publish Win7 drivers for this machine. During the copy phase on my desktop PC, I get continuous "data error (cyclic redundancy check)" messages, and also "error performing inpage operations." I can copy the CD contents to the c drive manually without error, so the CD is not the problem. I'm running NLITE 1.4.9.1. I would hate to trash this laptop, and buy another one, just to get away from Vista. Anyone know what my problem is? How to get around it?
