[Beppe]

hey guys i looked around the forums and cant seem to find anything but. i bought a new mb with a NF4 intel chipset.. i followed the install procedures from forum page. although i went back to an older version of nlite the last stable version on the front page. wut i did was downloaded ryans new pack. intergrated it with his intergrater. then i nlited my iso and intergrated the modified NF4 drivers. the nliteing went well but when i went to install windows i got this error

STOP C000007B {BAD IMAGE} THE APP OR DLL \??\C:WINDOWS\SYSTEM32\SFCFILES.DLL IS NOT A VALID WINDOWS IMAGE PLEACE CHECK THIS AGAINST YOUR INSTALLATION DISKETTE.

The install should work with enabled and disabled OemPreinstall option.

If you don't use F6 method, it might be better to disable OemPreinstall.

This actually sounds like a bit of an nLite bug. I recall having similiar issues, and the way to solve it was to disable Windows file protection. You can do this in the 'patches' section of nLite, I believe it is?

At least that's what this error message sounds like.

Beppe, fixed in rc5, try it.

the reason why i went to and earlier version of nlite was b/c of that lil bug that i was having when i got to the end of the install.. saying installation failed. this was with RC5.. so i went to last stable version.. guess gonna have to wait it out when nuhi releases the next version

:Update::

i always disable sfc all the time

That installation failed bug is silly, don't worry about it, it's IE thing in the reg, fixed in next one.

Best is RC5 for now.

I have the same problem as Beppe in that I get the following error when booting my Sony Vaio laptop running XP.

I wasn't installing anything, but my system has been very erratic lately, crashing at will and shutting down programs for no apparent reason. Ran Chkdsk dozens of times and it usually found some bad sectors that it seemed to fix. Right up until it would crash again, and find some more. Fortunately, due to this downward spiral, I was able to backup all key files from my hard drive.

Then yesterday, my computer would not boot at all. I just get the above error and the infamous BSOD. Interestingly, it does run Chkdsk and find no problems. So do I have a bad hard drive, or just a corrupted Win XP? Is there a way I can salvage the system without a complete reinstall?

I have done some investigation and have heard some that are able to bypass or replace the sfcfiles.dll. Any advice on how to do this when I can boot the drive would be appreciated.

Thanks!
