It works! Just finished my attempt with a new copy of the orig-CD. The old iso was 714.726 kb in Size, the new one is 715.026KB. After nlite really did integrate almost everything this time (after session-import I cleared the whole hotfix-list and added everything again), the standard iso-compiling-engine did fail again (root-directory empty). I switched to mkisofs...and now everything works! Textsetup is at 60% now and running... wait...one file is missing: version.dat I hope this one was not important. Textsetup just finishes with 100%. Maybe I really should try the folder-copy method next time. Anyway, thank you very much, both of you. I don't think I suffer the LBA-problem. In the linked threat they say something about a 4GB-limit. My iso is far below that. For the second XP-iso I used infrarecorder. Unlike nero it has an option "ignore read-errors" - of course i did UNCHECK it. I expected some error-correction/re-read on error might be applied then. Regarding to additional software: I used both methods: nlite-Addon-maker and RunOnceEx.cmd. Hope at the end of setup RunOnceEx will work as expected. However, it didn't seem related to my problem so I didn't mention it before.

submix, you don't seem to read what I write. The extracted boot-image IS working and I DID use imgburn. I also described the options I chose, please just read it. The iso is bootable now but the setup is crashing. Don't you think it's better using the original-boot-record instead of some downloaded one?! Already the language difference could cause trouble. My XP is german, your linked page is in english. I bet the downloadable boot-record is from an english XP-CD. I said copy the CONTENTS of your CD, not create an ISO! But, whatever floats your boat (same as if you just read the CD, but NOW you have to MOUNT it!)--BUT see "Tip" below...I know what you wrote but it makes no difference if the files get copied from disk or from a mountpoint. Using a burning software to read from disk should be more reliable though (in case of scratches on CD). I'll make a new integration with nlite and a fresh CD today, as suggested here.

I created two images with imgburn. One with only the second request confirmed. Another one with both requests confirmed. In both cases I get this message again, when trying to install XP in virtualbox: STOP c0000221 Unknown Hard Error\Systemroot\System32\ntdll.dllHowever, I finally get bootable images with imgburn, containing the disc-ident-files. Could it be a problem with virtualbox? Can something like this getting caused by a faulty driver? I injected every driver I could find to make the disk usable on several computers. Edit: I bet it's some faulty hotfix. I integrated over 200. Impossible to say which one replaces ntdll.dll. Last thing I'll try: overwriting ntdll.dll in the iso with the original from the xp-cd - just for fun. It might mess up the patched system with the old version. Also, I already copied the XP-CD a second time in low-speed to a new iso-image on disk to mount on the next run I might do with nlite tomorrow. Edit2: Just finished my little test: A replaced ntdll.dll makes no difference. However, it seems the file indeed got replaced by a newer version during hotfix-integration. XP-SP2-CD: 717KB, 2004-08-04, 13:00:00 nlite-iso: 724KB, 2009-02-09, 10:00:58

My first trial with imgburn (yes, I found the builtin bootsector-backup-function) was not successfull: Propably something with the settings/restrictions. I chose ISO-Level2 (32 chars) and Joliet-Level1(64-chars). datatype and filesystem is as you said: mode1/2048 and iso9660+joliet. I also did allow more than 8 directories and more than 255 chars in path, as well as files without extensions. I got two warning messages with imgburn, because it detects the i386-folder: First one says I'd better use iso 9660 only. Second one wants modify the charset to DOS or the Joliet-Level to JolietX. I try allowing the second modifications to be done and will try again.

New Image - same error-message as with my previously done manual method: Oh no - I really was about to avoid the manual boot-image extraction/copy-process. Are you sure this will even work? Extracting a boot-record from CD to put it on a DVD? Isn't there something diefferent with disc-geometry etc...? I usually use ultraiso for thinks like this.
-
Thanks. I just compiled a new iso with nlite and the mkisofs-option. Seems the root-folder is filled with files now. I'll test the new image with nlite and will try your attempt if the new iso fails again.

Thank you, submix8c. I consider doing it this way. However, Point 8 seems important to me. My Disk of course is a CD. My output-iso shall be burned onto a DVD. It's too large in size, since I added so much software. I get a file with about 3.5GB in size, after nlite finishes. I thought target won't matter (CD or DVD). Do you have some link, with a howto? Just tried google - can't find anything related to iso conversion for dvd.

Mmmmm...this is indeed a Retail-CD shipped with my notebook. SP2 is already included, as well as the serial-number. However, there is no additional software on the disk. I used it with nlite in the past years, a couple of times. Also, it seems to get copied on hdd correctly. In my nlite Temp-Folder, the root-folder DOES hold the cd-ident-files. So it's really nlite not including them into the image. I'm afraid to say that I have no other "clean" XP-CD from microsoft. In the past it worked fine with nlite.

That was indeed a strange thing. Are you sure you know all the hundred of thousands users-experiences? Actually I hoped finding someone here who knows about my problem. MSFN is the best address for nlite-related questions! Up to now I always found solutions to my problems here. Never had to post a threat myself though. Only this time the forum-search couldn't help me. Hence my threat. I don't even know how to reproduce the problem. Just can say that there are files missing in the final iso. I attached the .ini-file already. Someone has a clue what elese I could try to track down the problem?
-
Thank you. I know that. As I described already, I reintegrated all the stuff with nlite several times and it's everytime VERY time-consuming deleting the CD-folder, let nlite copy the XP-CD, reimporting all the hotfixes, hoping nothing will fail and waiting until iso-compilation is done. I've done it 6 or 7 times now. Obviously there is a bug in nlite because the final ISO is just missing files. I didn't touch anything up to now. Now I did it, textsetup DOES recognize the CD but crashes in the next step. I'm sure there are still other files missing. If I remember right nlite has an option to switch the ISO-compilation-engine. Maybe I should try this, on the next run. Is there a way to skip all the nlite-steps and just process the iso-creation of the final folder? It's so annoying starting from scratch everytime. Thanks for the tip with imageburn. I indeed got trouble with nero and just use a portable HDD now to mount the whole iso-file in virtualbox.

Adding the files manually did help. However, after loading the files, textsetup crashes in a BSOD reading: I guess there are more files missing but the files in the root-folder. Seems I'm suffering some bug in nlite.
-
After reading this threat, I opened my nlite-iso-file and discovered that the root-folder carries no files at all. Strange thing. Could it be a bug in nlite? I'll try adding them manually to the iso. I will post here after testing with virtualbox. Hope nothing else is missing.
-
Can you write a bit more? Why isn't nlite adding them? Which ones do I have to add?
-
Done

Sorry for 5x-post! "Post-Topic"-Button didn't seem to work.

Hello forum, after days of trial 'n error with nlite, I am close to just give up. I am trying to integrate all Hotfixes into XP-SP2 before microsoft removes them on april 2014. However, everytime I test my new DVD, the XP-textsetup tells me: "Please insert Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 2-CD into drive A:" (really, it reads drive A:) this happens before the file-copy-process, directly after the F6-screen (press F6 to apply SCSI or Raid-drivers). I tried shrinking the DVD I removed some unneccesary txt-drivers (there a still several left though) I deactivated windows file protection I tried integrating hotfixes in a different order Still, the text-setup just won't recognize the DVD. I'm close to give up. Somebody please help. I'm using nlite 1.9.3. For testing I use virtualbox 4.1.26 r84997. The ini-file is attached. In nlite IE7-integration didn't work - as well as 5 or 6 other hotfixes. I think it's msxml4 and msxml6 not getting included. XP-SP2-Silent.ini
