Sgt_Strider Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 I used xpcreate and follow instructions to create a brand new iso to install. I decided to test it by quickly burning it to a cd and then do a quick format for a install. It installed as normal, but then it'll freezes when it gets to the windows xp professional screen. There is no way to get through it and I'm locked out from accessing the desktop. What did I do with xpcreate that causes a bad installation? I know there are way too many possibilities, so maybe there are some obvious ones that I should be aware of? What do you guys think I should do to address this?

GreenMachine Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 You should:1) Download the latest version of XPCREATE.2) Run XPCREATE using ONLY the files listed on the Web Site Failsafe List (Current Hotfixes) NO WINNT.SIF, NO UXTHEME.DL_, etc.3) If the problem persists, attach the file LOGFILES.CAB to your next post.

Sgt_Strider Posted June 7, 2004 Author Share Posted June 7, 2004 What do you mean by no winnt.sif? I thought I need that file if I want to do an unattended installation of drivers? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GreenMachine Posted June 7, 2004 Share Posted June 7, 2004 You did not follow the three steps before posting ...No winnt.sif means do not add a winnt.sif file to the XP creation.I will NOT help you debug until you have attempted a "failsafe" CD.
