The machine stopps with a blinking cursor.[/quote]
I have spent hours trying to fix this problem myself. I had the bios settings right too. I just started with WinPE and OPK. I had setup a Pro SP2 preinstall from a retail CD, which everything booted fine in WinPE/Vmware. When using a OEM Home SP2 setup I kept getting the exact same error. The fix I found was using fdisk /mbr command after factory -winpe.

I put FDISK.EXE into my /i386/system32 of my WinPE image. I then edit startnet.cmd & startopk.net to read:
--------------
factory -winpe
fdisk /mbr
--------------
and copied back into /i386/system32 of my image. Then when winpe is finished with installing the configuration set. fdisk rewrites the master boot record (MBR). Then on reboot vwmare reboots properly to finish the windows setup.
