    hello , i was trying to make a xp disc to install on my dv5t
    first i tried to slipstream sp3 into sp1 but i got some messages when nlite was copying files , messages like "cannot locate the file c:\......" wich are some files that should have been copied by nlite
    anyway , i got a sp2 disc and used nlite , everything worked great , when i burned it and then data verification started i had some kind of an error
    i will copy this from the log
    please note that i burned the disc on my desktop and not on my laptop and i just need to know if i can use the disc , because when i put the disc it seems to work and the autorun starts.....but i am still concerned about this data verification thing because we all know that installing xp on dv5t is a delicate process :p
