daroga Posted December 24, 2007 Share Posted December 24, 2007 I did a Nlite ISO from my Dell SP1a disc and a Vlite from my Dell Vista RTM disc. Both worked just fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagroundhog Posted December 26, 2007 Author Share Posted December 26, 2007 (edited) hello chris b. and daroga,Well I tried it and it worked but I had problems during and after the install; here's what happened:First, the installer informed me that it couldn't find any hard drives so I restarted, pressed F6, and installed them from floppy. Next, I was informed that certain language related DLLs could not be extracted and since I setup nlite to exclude them, I opted to continue. However, once done, I started to recieve a Windows warning that some critical files (not specifically identified) had been replaced by an unknown source and I was asked if I wanted to correct this situation. At this point, I gave up and did a normal reinstall; however, I wonder if thes files were, in fact, related to the 'not yet official' SP3 RC1?Your thoughts and comments would be appreciated.Thanks,pagroundhog Edited December 26, 2007 by pagroundhog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
