okay i tried it agiain with nlite but i get the: setup has failed to install product catalogs.
is there something that im doing wrong?
i got an xp iso.
used nlite on it
modified program files
modified documents and settings
rebuilt it back with nlite
and tried it on virtual pc and didnt work.
oh just a random question: does nlite work on installations that already have a winnt.sif on it?

i have netbook with 4gb ssd for windows installation.
i need to reinstall it so the documents and settings is on main hard drive (100gb) and program files are also on main drive.
got my xp installation, and I extracted iso into actual folder with winrar, searched for WINNT.sif
i put the following commands under the unattandedgui section: ProfilesDir = D:\
Programfilesdir = D:\
then i took the folder and rebuilt it with imgburn and i got the edited iso to boot.
then when installation came, i chose to install on ssd 4 gig, installation was going good, then reboot, error came saying: setup log file corrupt, please provide more information fatal error. and some other error i forget.
i tried this with two other copies of windows that i had, but it still doesnt work?
how do i modify the windows installation unattanded to change profiles dri and prgoram files dir to different path?
i already read the kb article on profiles dir and it didnt help.
i got an iso of windows xp.
extracted it with winrar
looked at the new folder that was extracted, searched for WINNT.SIF
edited with notepad: under the [unattendedgui]
i put profilesdir = D:\
and programfilesdir = D:\
saved it
went to imgburn
and i built a iso from the folder again
it said i had to get an image from the actual iso, so i mounted the iso(the original one) on a virtual drive, extraced the bootfile and added it into my new project
and then i made the new iso using iso9660(cant remember exact iso format) and joliet
burned the new iso on to disc
booted it in the netbook
reformatted ssd and main drive
reparitioned unallocated space
installed main windows installation to ssd (since i had the winnt edited im thinking that it would place programfiles and profiles on the main hard drive (D:\)
did the normal install
rebooted
got error setup failed to install product catalogs.
then i tried using this: http://www.ntfs.com/iso_image_edit.htm
and still got the error.
i tried an installation without modifying it and it worked.
i think that the error is due to the way that i extract and rebuild the iso to edit it.
.
here is the winnt.sif:

extracting the iso with winrar

i click: make bootcd, unattended, tweaks
i change the profilesdir and programfiles dir and put in cdkey/
i make the iso
and i test it with virtual pc and it gives me that error.
it says also: could not register rsaenh.dll
