Rick,

I've used nLite to turn XP SP2 disks into SP3 disks with some of the
nicer customizations (show Printers on Start menu...) that nLite allows
you. So, something must be wrong with your process. It has worked so
well that I can't guess what to suggest you do differently. Maybe don't
try to add the SATA drivers as you found out the "standard" basic
drivers were added with SP2.

Wanted to update the thread for the archives.

I tried for a second time to create a install/boot CD using nLite but without success.

I located a WinXP SP2 CD and was able to use it to enter the recovery console. Interestingly it asked for the admin password but had on problem signing me on. Once there I was able to browse the C drive which I hadn't been able to do previously. Apparently the SATA drivers are on this CD.

I can't use REGEDIT to edit the registry from here but I seem to remember seeing something on Microsoft's sight about using REG to update the registry in a batch file. That's what I'll be trying today.
