I really need help guys, im in desparate need to reformat!

I tried to test my cd with VMware WS5.5 but im getting this error right after it finishes copying all my files. I used RVM integrator1.4 to apply updates and a handful of addons. Then nlite 1.01 to apply some reg tweaks and make the winnt.sif file. Then i used powerpacker 1.0 RC8 beta 4 to add the driver packs and make a bootable iso with my $OEM$ directory which has Office 2003 pro setup to do a unattended install. I used method 1 for the driver packs if it matters.

Anyone have any ideas?

Here is my winnt.sif file

Anyone? I'm really stuck here i desperately need to reformat my system!

[RogueSpear]

I would start out just using the RVM Integrator and see if it works. If it does, then nLite, and so on. Once you nail down the step that screws everything up, we could more easily help from there.

[jim0615]

I tried doing that already. I'm gonna try and just do the post sp2 updates and see have happens with just that package.

Not sure if this will help but this is what the VM says if i let it try and reboot from the HD after the failed install.

[RogueSpear]

Perhaps your source is corrupt ?

[jim0615]

I have been using the same source that worked with just the update pack installed. I just build another one with a handful of addons that got farther along than before.

Then i let it reboot and it ran chkdsk in the VM, 100s of errors in chkdsk, and rebooted again and is getting further along. But something is still really off obviously.

I used these addons in addition to the update pack.

[RogueSpear]

If it works with just the Update Pack, smart money would bet that one of the addons is causing your problems. If it were me personally, I would start with eliminating the patch addons. I have no idea what XPRAID patch addon is, but it's raising some red flags in my mind.

Are you building each image using a fresh source?

[jim0615]

Well i found the problem after making about 10 builds. My copy of VMWare was corrupted but only enough that it was causing errors when a VM was running.

The reson it was corruputed was because my machine has been rebooting every so often. The reson it was rebooting is because i had installed the novell drivers that come with xp, they made it so i could not boot into xp at all, i had done a repair install to fix that issue and then this started.

Thanks RogueSpear for tring to help!

Hope to see more great Addons from you in the future:-)
