| 779293 | 2009-06-04 05:43:00 | It worked for me also: - took a backup image (in case it turns to custard) - created the WIN51IP etc files - pointed NLite at the I386 folder and made a bootable installation The only thing that didn't seem to work was avoiding having to reactivate windows. I followed the instructions from here: www.howtohaven.com But still ended up having to activate again. Thanks all for help and suggestions. |

| 779295 | 2009-06-04 07:25:00 | There's a file you can copy to a new install or a repair install so you don't have to re-activate....forgot what it was though, does anyone here know? EDIT: Just visited the website, now I've learnt something too!:p |
