Hi Guys,This is my first post so be gentle with me.
I am trying to make an installation disc using XP Home and SP3. I have managed to do this no problems using nLite (I am sure I can do it with UltraISO but not worked it out yet). Anyroad everytime I come to install using the newly created disc I cant get past the Product key stage. It asks me to enter a product key but I am wanting to skip this stage and enter the details once windows is up and running. Whats strange is that I did the exact same process using a Win XP Pro (OEM) disc I had and this works fine.
The WinXP Home Edition disc I am using is a Medion recovery CD I got with an old computer. Is this the reason I cant skip the product key stage.
Below is the WINNT.SIF data I am using: -
[Data]
AutomaticUpdates = "Yes"
Autopartition = 0
MsDosInitiated = 0
UnattendedInstall = "Yes"
[Unattended]
UnattendMode = DefaultHide
UnattendSwitch = "Yes"

InputLocale_DefaultUser = "0809:00000452"
[Networking]

[Identification]

any help would be great
If I remove all the infomation relating to [UserData] will this make any difference

Yeah I did do that and it never worked.I read somewhere that using a Recovery CD will not work if used on a computer other than the one it came originally pre-installed on.
