File Not Found when installing WinXP

[bilyo]

Using nlite on my old WinXP system, I created a bootable disk that included all service packs and all updates since the last one. The disk booted OK on the XP machine and I let it load everything up to the setup screen (didn't want to overwrite anything). I have Virtual Box running on my Linux laptop and tried to use this for a test install of XP using the newly created disk. The disk booted but very quickly stopped with the message "i8042prt.sys could not be found". I did a search for the file and found it in \i386\sp3.cab\i8042prt.sys on the DVD. Can someone advise me on what to do to fix this?

Don't use nlite, because it doesn't include all needed drivers

What should I use?

In terms of success rate, best thing is to install XP from an official setup CD.
