I have managed to streamline my OEM copy of XP Pro with SP3 using nLite and install it to a hdd with no problems. It does ask for the product key during the install stage but it allows me to not enter it and continue with the installation.
However I am trying to do the same with a Medion recovery CD I own which is XP Home Edition. The problem is, when I come to install it onto a hdd it keeps asking for the product key but I want to continue without putting the key in. When I created the disc using nLite I chose for it not to ask for the product key during the installation.
Is this because I have used a recovery CD and not a OEM/Retail copy of XP Home?
