medi Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 (edited) Hello,I have Windows XP Proffesional with Service Pack 3 - Volume Licence .iso file, from MSDN. It is mounted into a virtual CD drive.When I try to open it using nLite, it asks me about location of Windows installation. Then, it correctly copies the contents of .iso into destination folder (which I choose). But, when it finishes Copying, when it starts the Scanning process, after cca 5 seconds, it displays information about Windows XP (Windows XP Proffesional, English (United States), Service Pack: 3, Version: 5.1.2600.5512), and then, it freezes! Combobox (with 'Scanning...' text) and all buttons (Browse, Back, Next) except Cancel are disabled (dimmed). When I click anywhere on nLite window, the title bar shows a standard 'Not Responding' Windows message. I tried several things to resolve this problem:- Checked the SHA1 fingerprint of Windows XP .iso file. It is OK!- Leave nLite for a half an hour to finish Scanning. Nothing!- Tried to burn the .iso on CD. The same thing happens!- Tried different versions of nLite (1.4.8, 1.4.7, 1.4.1) with different versions od .NET Framework (2.0 SP1, 3.0, 3.5). Nothing!- Tried on other PC computers. Nothing, the same!- Tried different destination folders for copying. The same!- Tried manual copying of CD contents, then selecting folder on a HDD to scan. Again, the same!It just freezes after Copying, during Scanning process, after it displays information about Windows instalation! Maybe nLite just doesn't support this Windows XP edition? If that is so, please tell me, so I can start finding another solution for integrating my SATA drivers?!After copying, the start of scanning process:After displaying windows instalation information: Edited July 22, 2008 by medi Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medi Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 Hm, interesting. I left nLite to Scan more than a half an hour, and after cca hour and a half, it finished. Also, additional info appears after Scanning process, which wasn't present when it froze: Size! Looks like it has some difficulties with size resolving!

bledd Posted July 22, 2008 Share Posted July 22, 2008 this is how i use nlite..i manually copy my xp disc to C:\XPCDdisable ALL antivirus/spyware scannerspoint nlite at C:\XPCD, takes about 1-3 seconds to scan..i do have a good pc though Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
medi Posted July 22, 2008 Author Share Posted July 22, 2008 I uninstalled apsolutely everything, except .NET Framework and nLite. Also, I tried on other (faster and newer) computers, the problem was the same. The conclusion is that processing speed isn't relevant for this problem.btw. I have another problem. After selecting AHCI SATA Driver .inf file and Bootable CD option, nLite stops (doesn't freeze, just stop) at 4. phase: Processing setup files?! What a hell is wrong now?! I will leave it for an hour to get out of it. If it doesn't make it, I'm doing slipstreaming manualy, and never use nLite again ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

b-man Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 have u just copied the files from the cd to your hard drive manually then got nlite to work from there Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
johnhc Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 medi, I suspect you copied your CD to the root directory (C:\) and not to a folder. This causes nLite to scan your entire HDD, takes a long time and yields huge byte counts. Copy your CD to a new empty folder and point nLite to that folder. Enjoy, John.

mara- Posted June 24, 2009 Share Posted June 24, 2009 johnhc, do you see when medi posted this? And he also wasn't active on this forum since then, so I doubt this will be useful from him. Maybe, just for others.Cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kd6aaj Posted September 20, 2009 Share Posted September 20, 2009 (edited) (edit) UPDATE!!!Zone Alarm Internet Suite was crashing RyanVM and nLite. Probably good-ol' True Vector doing its thing as usual.After I uninstalled Zone Alarm, RyanVM work flawlessly (unplug your internet first!) . I slipstreamed SP3 into my XP sorce folder on my HD. It just won't work with Zone Alarm, even when permissions for RyanVM are set to "SUPER".I'll try nLite next, but I bet it works now!(end edit) (end update)I've used nLite and RyanVM plenty of times.NOW, the last few days I've been trying to integrate a fresh XP Home SP0 with SP3, but need to slipstream SP2 first (supposedly).I can't even slipstream SP2 or SP3 with nLite, or RyanVM now! They both freeze after the "extracting service pack" part and never get to the actual slipstreaming. It freezes the whole PC and I have to manualy reboot (pull the plug or use the power switch).

You should try downloading them again and/or using a different computer to slipstream.SP2 Network Installation PackageSP3 Network Installation Package Edited September 20, 2009 by 5eraph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
