Hey all, could use a helping hand.

I'm using Autostreamer to slipstream sp2 onto my (legit) copy of XP Pro.

What's happening is the .ISO image that Autostreamer creates is 0 KB. I know that this file is invalid, but even when I try to burn this .ISO file using CDBurnerXP I get an "xpstreamed.iso is not a valid ISO image" error message

Has anyone else run into this problem? Thoughts?

Does anybody have experience with nLite? I'm going to give that a whirl when I get home from work tonight.

An update for anyone else who's having trouble with autostreamer.

nLite worked flawlessly, and also offers a lot more functionality than AS, so if your having problems I definitely recommend nLite.

Does nLite seem legit and all that? I'm a bit nervous to try it, but don't have anything that will let me burn a bootable CD correctly.

Edit: Well, I'm giving it a try and it seems nice. Unfortunatly all my XP SP2 discs are ones Dell OEM ones I can't legally use on other hardware (I guess). My retail XP (that I haven't used since the VPC days!) isn't even SP1, but this seems to do the trick.

EDIT: Well, slightly more complicated than I thought, but I think I'm doing it right now.
