First what i wanted to say than i WAS booting from a USB disk using grub4dos with patched Windows Whistler build 2419 in nLite.
But when the setup started, it said "TXTSETUP.SIF is corrupted at line 36"
Unpatched one loaded fine, patched one didnt.
(I KNOW that nLite breaks betas of 2000/XP.)
I was integrating a SATA driver.)
Also, any way how to unlift timebomb or even cut it off?)
