dizza Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I remember quite a few months ago making an unattended CD install of WinXP PRO w/SP2. I have since lost the nLited CD and decided to make another one. I put the original install files on my hard drive, ran nLite, integrated my nVidia RAID drivers, put in my CD key, burned the CD.... and it doesn't work. The drivers worked great, but when it gets to the CD key part it says my cd key is invalid. I retype it over and over but it doesn't take it.The funny part is that if I take the original CD and install it on another computer, that key works. Any one have a clue? My main system is a paper weight until I get this resolved. The key is a VLK key for WinXP Pro w/SP2. -d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jmjm003 Posted September 16, 2007 Share Posted September 16, 2007 I've only gotten an invalid CD key after slipping the beta release of SP3. You didn't by chance do that did you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You didn't by chance do that did you?Nope, I didn't slip any patches or ofter software. I removed a few components and did some tweaks via nLite, but that was it.-d Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
