OK, this should be so simple, but I cannot figure it out.

I have tried slipping SP2 to my copy of the original Gold release of XP Pro using Autostreamer. Everything appears to work fine, up until it's time to actually create the .iso. Then the GUI window tells me that it's now creating the .iso file, but like 5 seconds later, it announced it is finished, and of course , it isn't.

I point AS to my CD of XP, then point it to my SP2 file, I use the suggested "WINXPSP2.iso" name for the .iso, and ask for it to be put in F:\. The program runs, does the slipstream process normally.

So what am I missing here? :cry:

AS is installed in C/Programs/Autostreamer

SP2 is on my E partition

XP disc in CDROM drive

The 701MB reading is incorrect and is a bug/glitch. :)

Hmmmm.. I didn't creat an ISO, but created a winrar file for me instead??

Did I miss something? All the right files are there, but I thought it would be ISO and not .rar..

Im sure I could just unrar, and burn those files

That confused me a bit too. I used Nero and started up image burning and Nero recognized it as an iso file so I went ahead and burned it even though the file looks like WinRAR.

It's ok. Nothing's lost. Just burn it with Nero and voila.

I tried slipstreaming winXP oem sp1a with WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe and it took about 10 mins. After I installed it it still said Service Pack 1 so evidently it didn't work. I did get a update.exe error. Oh well I'll do it manually with nero..no biggie.

Did you run it in Windows 2000 SP4?

    • I just started using Teams (and “New” Oiutlook) at work (instead of Slack) and both are truly abysmal pieces of software.
    • If you are willing to go to approx $200, then as mentioned in your other thread I think a refurbished Pixel 8 will be a great deal that will last you for years. I recently recommended that to someone at work, he was on a strict £200 budget, which got him an excellent conditioned refurbished Pixel 8 here. He's since told me its the best phone he's ever had and feels its a massive upgrade over his old Samsung A series device. I don't know the sites which deal in refurbished devices in the US, however I’m sure you will have some options like we do here. Failing that Ebay is also quite good in my experience. If you wanted something a bit cheaper, then you could maybe go for an older Pixel 7, these will still get security updates until the end of 2027. Even after that you have good third party OS support from LineageOS. It doesn't have to be a Pixel though, you can buy many older devices for a good deal that would be better than a new $100 phone and flash LineageOS to them: https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/
    • I don't use one drive, but then I don't use any cloud storage, not even Icloud on my mac. If I did use cloud storage, then I would not use One drive, not because there is anything wrong with it, but because I can use Icloud. The only reason I see to use one drive is if your job requires you to have access to it
    • Not built in, which is not a bad thing. There are ways of adding cloud storage to it, Dropbox is the most well know that also have a client for Linux, but there are others.
