After completing the text mode file copying, setup gave the error that no hard drives could be found. I had included the 3Ware text mode driver (Version 9.5.2) DLed from the the 3Ware site and included it in my nLite run. Fernando 1 came to my rescue, once again, by finding a fix via Google. The page,
here, is in German, but essentially says to delete the lines at the end of the txtsetup.oem file that allow use of a USB floppy to load the text mode drivers. This is not needed - really cannot be used since F6 cannot be used. After deleting these lines, my install went fine. Thanks again to Fernando 1 for his help. Enjoy, John.
