Thanks Ponch. That pretty much answers my questions. I wasn't sure how the disk was being formatted, I didn't know it was part of the ghost image. I haven't done the install of the nlited version, but I'm optimistic. Thanks again
I have an XP Recovery CD from ASUS. It has a ghost file for the re-install. I know I can build an nlited version by copying the i386 folder. My question is can I control how the hard drive is partitioned with a registry addon in nlite or some other way? The Recovery CD automatically makes the first partition FAT 32. I want NTFS. If there is no way, will reformating the system partition cause any problems? Thanks for any help
