hey guys, i used the excellent nlite tool to create an unattended windows server 2003 installation, and it works perfectly, except for one thing- i was wanting to do a repair install of my windows, so i booted from the disc, but it didnt find any windows installation, it just proceeded like it was an empty hard disk (obviously there is a windows install on the disk)

ususally, the windows cd finds the installation and gives the option "press r to repair this installation"

so im just wondering what option i might have set that has caused this, maybe the disabling of windows system file protection? i just need to get this one thing fixed and then im all set

nLite's FAQ.

If I'm not mistaken, I think it's Manual Install and Upgrade.

Did you select that in Remove Components?

When you come to the installation type screen in nLite you must pick the bottom option in the drop down list to keep this function, it then works fine.
