it worked! 
i even installed in AHCI mode, but i had to load the Intel ACHI drivers from a floppy as they don't load from textmode. i had them in my 3rd party drivers but i guess that's not enough.
anyway, back with a fresh install and plenty of pre-installed apps thanks to nLite and Bashrat's DP. thanks for the help.
lovely

Yes I had the OEM Preinstall enabled. I guess BASE doesn't touch that parameter.
I am going to make install disks with it enabled and disabled and see if it makes a difference.

Sorry for the off-topic post.
This is great and I think it really clears things up. That's basically what I was asking.
@ Helmi:
I have used both VirtualPC 2007 and latest version of VirtualBox. Same problem with both of them. This is the first time I have encountered this problem and I have done various slipstream/nLited/DriverPack installs before. It could have something to do with my new motherboard (Asus P5B-Dlx). Maybe something with AHCI?

Topic: using DP_MassStorage_textmode - yes or no? (25 replies, posted in Software)
I have a question about using the DP_MassStorage_textmode setting. I will be installing on SATA drives connected to my motherboard's (Asus P5-B) SATA controller.
When I test my install using DP_MassStorage_textmode = "yes" on a virtual machine it gets stuck right at the end of textmode portion of setup (Setup is starting Windows...).
With DP_MassStorage_textmode = "no" the install works fine on a virtual machine.
However, I am thinking I would need the setting to yes when I do the real install to load the SATA drivers during textmode. Is this correct?
I tried to see if my answer is on the wiki but the server is down right now.
Thanks.
