I removed a few components related to Internet Explorer, Media Player (and their dependancies) from within the Task Selection tab and then created a bootable ISO. I wish to use my PC as an audio/dvd tool and have no need for internet, networking, Media Player, printing etc. My Creative Labs XiFi card restricts me to Microblowz OS. I would love to use Linux but can't, due to limited functionality with this sound card and a Linux distro. I encounter an error during the installation process. I am installing WinXP pro with integrated SP3. My MOBO (P5G41T-M LX) has ICH7 (no additional letter assigned as in ICH7R etc) and G41 chipset and I understand I do not need to add additional textmode drivers for S-ATA as I am running IDE hard drives and don't have SATA capability with this MOBO. The error comes after the first standard reboot Windows actions after a prelim install of copying files etc. The error reads, "lsass.exe -system error - a write operation...volume was mounted" and enters a reboot loop upon reaching the same error. The attachment labelled "SECOND_SESSION.INI" contains the details of what I removed to get this error. In troubleshooting, I have produced an error free install with removing only a few trivial Components, such as Calculator etc. I have attached the details in the file labelled, "LAST_SESSION.INI" Searching here and on the WWW for the last few days and haven't found anything specific to my problem and OS install disk. After many CD coffee coasters, I think I have come close to resolving issue as to what to keep and what to remove. Without sounding like a pornstar, how can I overcome this current mounting problem and what should I be keeping from the SECOND_SESSION.INI to prevent this lsass.exe error and for a better understanding what causes it? ...cheers and thanks SECOND_SESSION.INI LAST SESSION.INI
