The link provided was to DOWNLOAD certs and slics to make a disk legit.

That is ILLEGAL!

What all of the other posts and threads do is instruct you on how to make\obtain your own from a running system YOU OWN!

My mistake, link had been removed so I didn't realise the link provided was to download certs and slics.

I think I'm on a trace.

Anyone that can help me get this hotfix? http://support.microsoft.com/kb/981542/

Here is the error from setup.etl:

Yeah, thanks. I got it from MS. I'll let you know if this fixed my error.

FYI - The hotfix is included in sp1, unfortunately I can not have sp1 on my images because of incompatible problems with other programs. :-)

Found another thread and this solution worked for me:

THE SOLUTION THAT WORKED

1. When the error message apears, open up a command window with SHIFT + F11

2. open the REGEDIT

3. navigate to hklm\system\setup

4. change CmdLine to blank (no value entered) (was oobe\windeploy.exe)

5. change CreateNewQueueOnFirstBoot to 0 (was 1)

6. change OOBEInProgress to 0 (was 1) (i am guessing that might be AUDITInProgress if that was your sysprep choice)

7. change SetupPhase to 0 (was 4)

8. change SetupShutdownRequired to 0 (was 1)

9. change SetupType to 0 (was 2)

10. change SystemSetupInProgress to 0 (was1)
