Well, I wanted to create a SP2-CD for me including my S-ATA driver, my CD-Key and some things like the tcpip.sys & uxtheme.sys. No other complicated stuff.

When I tested my ISOs or burnt CD-RWs with VMWare, it worked, but every time I booted from the CD the setup stopped at a specific point.

After loading the drivers and before you can choose on which partition to install WindowsXP there is a moment with black screen and a little white cursor in the corner.

Normally this state doesn't last long, but in my case the setup stopped there no matter how long I waited.

After a lot of tests I noticed that the WinNT.sif causes my problem. I have no Idea which line it was, but after I created a completely new File with another program, it worked.

First the NOT working one from nlite:

and now the working one from Winnt.sif Creator 1.1a:

My guess would be this line causing the hang:

ComputerType = "ACPI-Uniprozessor-PC", Retail

But my CPU is a AMD AthlonXP and I think the option should work.

I'm too tired of testing, but I'd still would like to know the bad guy ;)

Like I already said my CD works now, but in case anyone else has the same problem and to prevent running into this one again I wrote this to examine the problem.

If anyone has an idea, feel free to mention it.

Hope my english isn't too bad.

Greetings, elmulti
