Terranaut Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 I'm trying to use nLite to make a basic unattended, slipstreamed install disk from my OEM XP Pro disk, but it won't recognize the disc, every time I point the program to the disc, I am told to make sure that the disc has an i386 or AMD64 folder.I tried copying the contents of the CD to a folder on my Hard drive, but I get the same dialog.The CD was purchased on the week of XP''s UK release.I have tried the following versions of nLite"1.4 Installer from main D/L link1.4 Installer from 2nd mirror1.3.5 Installer from main D/L link.I have made an unattended install using a previous version of nLite but I cannot recall which.Can anybody help me on this?

mitsukai Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 you should use nlite on a clean disk..something you did to it, has made nlite unable to detect that it is a proper windows cd Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terranaut Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 Like I said this is the original disk that I purchased on the week of XP's UK release.Anyway, it appears that it is a hardware issue, as I have passed the stumbling point using a fresh install of XP from the original XP disk in VMware on my Mac.

nuhi Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 huh that's weird.Maaybe some antivirus is doing it, just a wild guess. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Terranaut Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 I'm pretty sure that it's a hardware problem (low power, bad optical drive) as I have had issues reading some disks with that PC, and there is no AV software installed.

nuhi Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 Oh ok, in that case next time copy the CD manually using the explorer to your HDD and then browse with nLite to that folder. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Legolash2o Posted December 9, 2007 Share Posted December 9, 2007 What i would do, i use something like MagicSO and it can make an image of the CD/DVD and store it on your hard drive so for later use you can just extract it. MagicISO will also detect if it cant read any sectors on the disk if any problems should arise ie. hardware... but somtimes the disk just needs cleaning.

Terranaut Posted December 9, 2007 Author Share Posted December 9, 2007 (edited) on hard drive, create c:\xpcd foldercopy all contents from cd to that folderpoint nlite at itI did that, but still got the error.Like I said in post #3, I must be an issue with the hardware or other setup of the PC that I tried, as nLite works OK on my Virtual XP on my MacBook Pro. nLite isn't to blame for this.

rehbar Posted December 10, 2007 Share Posted December 10, 2007 (edited) I did that, but still got the error.Like I said in post #3, I must be an issue with the hardware or other setup of the PC that I tried, as nLite works OK on my Virtual XP on my MacBook Pro. nLite isn't to blame for this.If error was about hardware then clean your mainboard, ram, vga etc... with CTC(carbon tetra chloride). Then rubbing ram’s golden pins with led-pencil eraser. Then clean install Windows XP Edited December 10, 2007 by rehbar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
