Windows installation via USB_Multiboot start expired

[lagouzas]

Hello guys, Ι' m a newbie to the forum and a rather unexperienced user in batching Windows and formatting disks via USB flash. I ' m trying to format my netbook with Windows XP Home Service Pack 2 from USB flash and I get a problem I have no explanation...

I use USB Multiboot 10 and Nlite for the usb. The CD is genuine and the only thing I tweak with NLITE is to integrate into it some SATA AHCI drivers. When the installation completes I get a message that my licence expired, I need to validate windows right away and no 30-days

deadline ginen. There are no Lan drivers in the cd or any wireless drivers, so I can't validate via Internet, and I can't get into windows. I have no logical explanation. The only thing that have in mind is that the default installation date that the format process proposes, is somewhere in 2004.

When I run the install via CD in another computer, during installation a window opens and then I can change the installation date and time. When I run it from the USB flash it never appears, no matter what preferences I choose from Nlite, about GUI interface, or fully attended Setup, so I guess I install the OS with wrong date.

Is there a tweak or a fix I can do?

Can you better explain/describe (ideal would be to post a picture) what you are talking about?

Are you using some form of "unattended"?

Wht is the System date and time in BIOS?
