Error Trouble creating RHEL 6.5 bootable image with custom kickstart file

Hi everyone,

I have a custom kickstart file from a software vendor and I'm trying to package that with a RHEL 6.5 and then attach it to a VM and install RHEL with the settings in the kickstarter file. I'm doing this from a windows PC using an app called InfraRecorder.

I've extracted the contents of an original RHEL 6.5 ISO, placed the custom ks.cfg file in the root of the image and then I create my ISO with InfraRecorder and mount it to the VM however when I boot up the VM I keep receiving this error
Code:
ISOLINUX 4.02 2010-07-21 ETCDisolinux: Image checksum error, sorry...

For the boot sector I have placed the files isolinux.bin, boot.cat and efiboot.img.

What am I missing? Hopefully this is the right place to ask this question, I realize I'm using windows to create the image but I figured this has more to do with modifying the Linux ISO and something I'm not doing correctly. I've googled this and searched here in the forums prior to posting this and can't seem to find what I'm looking for. Thanks in advance!

NAME
img-xpm - Img, X Windows Pixmap Format (xpm) SYNOPSIS
package require Tk package require img::xpm ?1.4? image create photo ?name? ?options? _________________________________________________________________ DESCRIPTION
The package img::xpm is a sub-package of Img. It can be loaded as a part of the complete Img support, via package require Img, or on its own, via package require img::xpm. Like all packages of Img it does not provide new commands, but extends the existing Tk command image so that it supports files containing raster images in the X Windows Pixmap Format (xpm). More specifically img::xpm extends Tk's photo image type. The name of the new format handler is xpm. This handler does not provide additional configuration options. All of the above means that in a call like image create photo ?name? ?options? [1] Image data in xpm format (options -data and -file) is detected automatically. [2] The format name xpm is recognized by the option -format. SEE ALSO
