10 new coasters, Please Help

[coryserwa]

I don't know if its just me or what but everytime I try to make a slipstream copy, I tend to screw it up. I'm using a WINXP SP2 CD as my orignal copy. The last 3 cds i've made get to after the format and it copies all the files over. Once it restarts, it will make it to the windows load screen and then restart again instead of going into the install phase.

I use the driver packs from Bâshrat the Sneaky's website, I use all the hotfixes that don't give errors during the compression, I make sure all the red window drivers are checked, i've gone through all the guides and followed them step by step. It just never works and I now have more coasters then I need.

I use the XP CD almost daily on PCs at my computer shop so I know it works fine. (don't worry, i'll donate once I get a working copy)

Does anyone have any idea on what I could do to fix this problem? If you need anymore information, please let me know.

You could make an ISO and start testing it in a virtual environment before burning a real CD. Use a free virtual machine like virtualbox or microsoft virtual pc.

If you don't have enough memory to do it, I suggest using a CD-RW. Might be slow but you won't have so many coaster.

Other than that, I can't diagnose problem since you haven't provide what errors, if any, you are getting.

Sounds like a driver/hardware problem??

If it is a Driverpacks issue, please report your problem to the forums over there along with your logfiles.

Save yourself some cd/dvd and use either rewritable media or test the iso in a VM.

Other than that try doing one thing at a time and testing. So just add the updates to your cd and test it, then add updates and Driverpacks and test. Could be any one of the things you are doing, or some combination of them. Another thing you could check is to look at the setupapi.log file in the windows directory for errors.

You may have already fixed this, but try burning as slow as possible, usually when I get a OS coaster CD, when I slow the burn down it works... Even with overburn turned on, it still needs to be slowed down.
