I suspect that I have made a "schoolboy error" as it was my first attempt - apologies to the veterans - I assume that is a complementary phrase in your respective nationalities.
Started with XP SP3, nLite'd with XAble's July MS fixes but *no* drivers as per (many) directives...
I then used DPs_BASE1006 w/Mass+Chip1206 - log inc..
I *then* used the tool at http://www.msfn.org/board/topic/120444- … -with-gui/ to transfer the folder onto a bootable USB memory stick.
When I use the stick in a Dell Inspiron 1525 set to IDE-mode then it all works but when I try it with the BIOS set to Sata-mode the install fails as it tries to do the "final" boot.
The success with IDE-mode makes me *think* that I have got most of the basics right but obviously not.
The symptom of the failure is BSoD 0x7B after mup.sys and the HDD drivers listed before were iastor3 and atapide? The iastor3.sys is certain - I didn't make a note of the ide one. You suggest the following is attached ini + log :

The above was *not* in a subfolder (/Logfile?) as indicated in your "new topic" guide which made me check DP_Base versions - the *code* i.e. .exe had a version of 3.3.4 which confused me but I assume 1006 in the downloaded file name of DPs_BASE_1006.
What follows is DPsFnshr:
[Settings]
; DO NOT SET THIS MANUALLY, LET THE DriverPacks BASE DO IT FOR YOU! (may NOT contain any spaced, if it does, all exceptions must be adapted to be compatible!)
DPsRoot = "%SystemDrive%"
; DO NOT SET THIS MANUALLY, LET THE DriverPacks BASE DO IT FOR YOU!
KTD = "paths:D"
; system variables supported (see remarks for a list) one location cannot be used as
; KTDlocation: the root directory specified in[Settings]\DPsRoot
KTDlocation = "d:\nlite\dp\KTD"
; system variables supported (see remarks for a list)
logLocation = "%SystemRoot%"
; enables/disables debug mode (enabled by default)
debug = "true"
and *just* in case these odd files give you a clue - here is a list of what else was in C:\ of the target:
