I use ProductID=XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX-XXXXX instead of ProductKey=....

You could try that.

*EDIT*

I wonder if the order you have the entries in makes any difference? In my winnt.sif I have them in the following order under [userData]: FullName, OrgName, ComputerName and then ProductID

I don't think it really matter... mine is just like buzzman2005 and I am also using ProductKey.

What kind of CD are you using? OEM, VLK, Retail Box. Are you using the proper key for your CD?
