ok...see.. after you create the WINNT.SIF you need to put it in the xp cd before you burn it... put it in the I386 directory... don't forget to see that the file name is correct... after the cd is running u'll need to select the paratition and format the drive and after it will copy the files and reboot you'll see that the setup program runs automaticly... if you have any other probs contact me in MSN MESSENGER akl4u2@hotmail.co.il cheers mate...
