Multiple Installs-Multiple CD Keys

[seth1066]

Your problem is that you are using Windows 7 to slipstream SP3. You need to do it under XP. You can run XP using a Virtual Machine running in Windows 7 for this.

Why it worked on computer A was a fluke. It is well known that you cant integrate a service pack under Vista or Windows 7 due to it "breaking" the key.

This scenario has worked also on 1 other machine before "Box A." But I'm a believer and I'll start over with an XP sandbox or PC. Good excuse for trying out VirtualBox which just won a poll in LifeHacker's HiveFive:
