abomadi,

Are you using a VISTA system to make the XP ISO? If so, have you set nLite.exe to run in XP SP2 Compatibility Mode? Have you nLited the same source more than once? You should always start with a fresh copy of the CD files. What is your XP CD - retail, OEM, recovery, etc? You should attach (not paste) your LastSession.ini. Where did you get the SATA drivers? Did you integrate them as Text Mode? Are you using a virtual system (e.g., VirtualPC or VirtualBox to test? - highly recommended.

Enjoy, John
