hey allz, i just have an idea (and i'm trying to done this)

I made copy of my system drive (fresh after install Windows XP) to wim archive, and I want to give it freshy installation. I almost done but when I must change instal location it close and restart. The same thing exists when I click "next" and it should copy files. But it exit. What I'm doing wrong? Is there any protection of it?

I don't know what are you talking about, but I always advice to use various versions of xImage to use on different OSes. Try ImageX 7600 as it works the best with XP.

i just make a wim-based installation for xp, but when it's time to copy files - it's restarts my computer.

anywayz, thanks, i will try it and get back with the answer.

You can also try that:
1. Install clean XP
2. When you get to the screen: "Hey, I'm a Question Mark. Press F1......", reboot the PC
3. XP will show you Desktop with Administrator username logged in
4. Run sysprep from WinXP cd and supply it for customer (use OOBE). Also mark "reboot".
5. Boot into another OS, and ImageX your clean XP.
6. Done, now supply it as you did.
