- 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
