Anybody here ever slipstream install disks?

You know, if you're getting BSODs on Windows startup, one of two things is happening:

1. Corrupted files are being installed.
2. Bad hardware is behind it.

And "bad hardware" can be anything from "bad CD drive" to "bad RAM." Any of which could also result in corrupted files on the hard drive, too. But the stuff nLite does shouldn't alter the actual installation to the point that it would produce a BSOD. It is literally just adding files, it's not going to rewrite DLLs or anything of that sort. I've just never heard of this happening with nLite, but I have had bad RAM cause bluescreens in very predictable fashion.

The only thing I can even guess is that it's burning a bad .ISO to the CD, and I've tried both DVD burner drives, so I'm not sure about that either. In this ongoing ordeal, I have tried 4 different means of burning the .ISO: nLite, Roxio, Active@ISO and 1 more I can't remember right now.

I recently reinstalled Windows from scratch, just before I decided to try nLite, and that went OK. And these attempts with nLite have been installed to a 3rd HDD which had previously been used (successfully) for testing Windows7.

I'm going to find something else I can test the burning process with, just in case.
