Having an issue with UVW Mapping

Trixxster

So in the picture you can see that on the left I have it all unwrapped properly and fit into the box. I am trying to render a normal map but for some reason whenever I do it comes out like it does on the right...

Why are all the parts laid out in the way they are in the render? I can't figure out how to fix it.

Bring up your render to texture dialog and make sure that you're not set to automatically unwrap (looks likely since your top modifier is "Automatic Flatten UVs" )

You want to select use existing unwrap and select which UV channel your bake will use (1 usually)

I think you are absolutely correct. Good catch. Secondly now for some reason whenever I click on "Render" in the Render to Texture window... the render is not popping up at all...
