You answered you own question with that link. "Minlogon can be beneficial for devices on which user access to the underlying file system is limited" I am using this for a MAME cabinet...

OK I figured it out... the problem is caused by MINLOGON.... I had integrated the minlogon hotfix into my install, and this reportedly disables Ctrl-Alt-Delete to access the task manager.

Ok, don't kill me guys... i searched but found nothing... I have made a custom nLite install for XP SP3. I did edit a number of things, and now when I install the OS, and hit CTRL-ALT-DEL it does nothing. I can still get to task manager by right clicking on task bar, but still need the keyboard functionality (long story...) What could I have misconfigured that removed this feature? I saw strl-alt-del for logon screen, but that seems something else (I removed that feature btw). Pointers?

Thaks that's helpful info... I had tried winnt32 /unattend:winnt.sif but the files in $OEM$ would not get copied over.... will try info from your link.

My DVD drive or cable are funky... the instal works perfectly on another computer with a good DVD. Can't swap. Plus, I'd really like to learn to do this from HDD media...! You mean the physical device is not reading properly or is your media/install not working ?

Hello, I have created an nlited custom install CD/DVD for Windows XP. OK, so my DVD is not working right, so I am proceeding with a 'manual' install from HD. My setups is such that I have 2 internal drives (IDE), with all the Nlite CD contents copied onto one drive, and the target is the other drive. I managed to perform the install by manually running 'Setup.exe' on the root of my nLite install folder. Although it completed successfully, this does not seem to be a proper Nlite install. i did not see that 'final' dialog that appears within Windows where the DriverPacks are finalized etc. other things seem odd as well. So the question: What is the correct process to amnually trigger the Nlited install from my hard drive? i think launching WINNT32.EXE would produce the same results? Thanks for any help!
