nLite CD's created with nLIte 1.3.0.4 do not boot with nForce 2 mo

[olger901]

Hello all,

I am having a very odd problem, I recently upgraded my nLite version 1.3.0.4 and integrated Service Pack 2 into a Windows Server 2003 Standard Edition ISO, which I made bootable using nLite, however I am having one very odd issue; The CD does not seem to be willing to boot on nForce 2 motherboards, I've tried 2 PC's and both pc's are showing the same issue (one pc has an Asus A7N8X motherboard with BIOS version 1007 and the other pc has an Asus A7N8X-X motherboard with BIOS version 1010 and both use the nForce 2 chipset). I tried the CD on another pc which has an Asus K8N (nForce 3 motherboard) and it boots fine on this pc, and I also tried it on my Dell Inspiron 6400 notebook, on which the CD also boots fine.

The oddest thing is that I also tried to boot a slightly older Windows XP Professional with SP2 slipstreamed CD (also created with nLite) and the computer boots fine with that CD.

Anyone who knows what could be causing this issue??

what are the first boot devices in the bios on those computers?

The first boot device is set to CD-Rom, the 2nd is set to HDD-0, I also tried disabling HDD-0 as a boot device, and I tried disabling one of the 2 ODD's at a time in the BIOS and tried both ODD's however none worked

what media are you burning onto?

try different media or a different dvd/cd drive

boots fine on my nforce2's!

I tried a verbatim CD and on 2 Platinum CD's

1 Platinum CD burned at 40x, 1 at 16 speed and the Verbatim at 48x

I also tried both the DVD-/+RW drive and the Asus DVD-Rom, and neither are booting from it

I also tried another pc (with an Asus A7N8X motherboard) which has an LG DVD-Rom drive and it shows exactly the same symptoms.
