Thanks for the clarification Ted, and I don't mean to sound argumentative with a regular poster, but I -have- seen issues with OS creation, and I am not the only one, as proven by the link in the original post. Simply put, some methodology DOES NOT necessarily work, even though you personally might have had unwavering past successes. Chalk this up to borderline failing equipment or end user ignorance, but I was sharing a methodology that worked for me personally, when all other potential methods had been failing. I hope others can achieve the same success.
