that's a response for your 1st post suggesting that 1.2RC has a broken engine and cannot make a bootable CD. of course XP cd is bootable and so should be nlited one as long as it has boot files and they're not corrupted. in my case nlited XP with 1.2RC is also bootable, so that's definitely not nlite issue. try again the whole process with original XP cd and see what happens. I had exactly the same problem and this fixed it!!! Thanks malcolmx
