this thing is buggy, it identifies my SP2 file as build 2180, yet it is (Pre-SP2)? i am 120% sure that it is the RTM version, it is the final build 2180, so how the heck can it be Pre-SP2???

it's not buggy at all - you see, when i was coding it i had no idea what the final build would be, so right now AutoStreamer has no idea that 2180 is the final SP2 build... A "fixed" version will be released soon to address that. Functionality-wise the difference between "Pre-SP2" and "SP2" is 0.

I've experienced this BUG aswell. So I just slipstreamed the old fashion way with commands and dealing with boot loaders. & that sorted me out. So wen Raptor comes back hopefully he can update it and squash a few bugs ;)

Right now AutoStreamer will take you half way through the process... meaning it will do everything EXCEPT burning the image file. Have in mind that using wrong options during burning procedure can render bottable cd images non-bootable... For example, make sure you use Disc-At-Once while burning.

Cheers, my fault I used Nero Express to burn the ISO file, when I opened the .ISO file in Explorer it directed me to Roxio Disc Copier, in my ignorance I ignored this and tried to burn using Nero Express instead of Disc At Once. :(

I have now burned the file using Roxio Disc Copier and all is well resulting in a bootable Win XPSP2 CD :)

Thank you for you help, great program.

OK I'm back in Athens for a few hours, so I compiled the fixed version of AutoStreamer... Same link...

AutoStreamer 1.0.29

Fixes:

- It now detects 5.1.2600.2180 as Windows XP SP2 and not Pre-SP2

- Should work with ALL languages

ATTENTION: All-In-One solutions are not and will never be supported.

Nicely done, Rap! :D

EDIT - I editted the first post to show the changes. (Y)

I have the same problem in the screenshot above. 1.0.29 does not recognize XP SP1, SP1a, or SP2 RTM. I get the same error "Wrong Operating System" I've tried using my WinXp Home OEM cd and my xp pro/sp1 integrated cd. NO joy. Autostreamer 1.0.28 works fine tho. Using 1.0.28, I had no problems at all slipping SP2 RTM into my xp pro corp/sp1 cd. Don't know yet if the final product actually works, since my other comp is at a friend's house atm, tho.

I'll know in a few days.

And for all of you arguing many posts ago about WPA and Dell comps, from my experience so far with Dell comps, ALL versions of XP, when installed on a Dell comp, do not require activation, no matter what serial is used. This is because MS and Dell partnered together ages ago on the down low. It's all in the Dell bios. XP recognizes the Dell bios and activates itself automatically. Not only have I experienced this personally, but I have a friend who's father works for Dell in Austin, TX and he told me about the Dell bios. I installed my own XP Home OEM which I bought online long ago, on a Dell Inspiron laptop using the cd key I got off the bottom of the comp. It installed fine and needed no activation. Could possibly be a combination of the Dell bios and Dell cd keys, but I know for a fact the bios has something to do with it.

Great work on AutoSteamer btw.

This new version keeps telling me I'm using the wrong Operating System :huh:

I know from experience with working and building the Windows Ultimate Boot CD that sometimes programs can be VERY picky. So I would suggest trying putting the contents of the CD on your HD, say in a folder named C:\XPSP1 (keeping to the 8.3 name standards and on the ROOT drive) and then put SP2 in a folder like C:\XPSP2 (same 8.3 standards and root drive). Then try it again and see what happens. This has solved A LOT of problems with similar programs so maybe it will help with this, I don't know. Never hurts to try. :)

Ive tried doing my XPhome Gold to SP2 and my XPpro corp gold to SP2, both come out looking good, but when I try test installing on a clean drive, I get "disk read error" after the first reboot in setup....the one where it would boot from the HDisk the first time.

What am I doing wrong.

Thanks for the suggestion, I'll try that!

    • A Warhammer 40K racing game and a chess roguelike are free to claim on the Epic Games Store by Pulasthi Ariyasinghe The Epic Games Store has returned to its standard giveaway procedures after weeks of mystery freebies. The latest drop is replacing last week's Rogue Waters and Songs of Conquest games and has brought in a double giveaway offering Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King. As always, the game is yours to add permanently to your Epic Games Store library within the next seven days. From the duo, Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks lands from developer Caged Element, and it's a racing game that was only released last year. The title has you piloting Ork buggies, tanks, and aircraft modeled after the popular tabletop miniatures. The focus is on multiplayer mayhem, offering multiple game modes that have you fighting other players as everyone tries to survive and get across finish lines or destroy mechs. Crossplay support between PC and consoles has now arrived as part of a free update, too, giving a boost to matchmaking times for this multiplayer-focused title. If racing carnage isn't your thing, then The Ouroboros King offers tactics. The indie title is a mashup of chess and standard roguelike experience, letting players create their own armies to defeat an enemy faction, all on the familiar checkered board. There is a procedurally generated map, pieces with special abilities, relics that bend the game's rules to make overpowered builds, and more. The newly available Warhammer 40K Speed Freeks and The Ouroboros King giveaways on the Epic Games Store are set to run until June 11, giving PC gamers seven days to claim the latest offer. Once this closes out, a new freebie will take its place on the same day. Don't forget that mobile gamers can check out the Epic Game Store's weekly giveaways on Android and iOS to grab a freebie there as well.

    • The most consequential argument in technology right now is not about which model is smartest or which chip is fastest. It is about whether the entire enterprise is a generational revolution or the largest financial bubble ever inflated — and the unsettling answer, increasingly, is that it may be both at once.,,,, https://www.techtimes.com/articles/318138/20260610/ai-revolution-ai-bubble-trillion-dollar-question-splitting-wall-street-silicon-valley.htm This is a very good read.  For what it is worth, I agree with the answer to the question.

    • LibreWolf 151.0.4-1 by Razvan Serea LibreWolf is an independent “fork” of Firefox, with the primary goals of privacy security and user freedom. It is the community run successor to LibreFox. LibreWolf is designed to increase protection against tracking and fingerprinting techniques, while also including a few security improvements. This is achieved through our privacy and security oriented settings and patches. LibreWolf also aims to remove all the telemetry, data collection and annoyances, as well as disabling anti-freedom features like DRM. LibreWolf features: Latest Firefox — LibreWolf is compiled directly from the latest build of Firefox Stable. You will have the the latest features, and security updates. Independent Build — LibreWolf uses a build independent of Firefox and has its own settings, profile folder and installation path. As a result, it can be installed alongside Firefox or any other browser. No phoning home — Embedded server links and other calling home functions are removed. In other words, minimal background connections by default. User settings updates Extensions firewall: limit internet access for extensions. Multi-platform (Windows/Linux/Mac/and soon Android) Community-Driven Dark theme (classic and advanced) LibreWolf privacy features: Delete cookies and website data on close.

Strip tracking elements from URLs, both natively and through uBO. Enable dFPI, also known as Total Cookie Protection. Enable RFP which is part of the Tor Uplift project. RFP is considered the best in class anti-fingerprinting solution, and its goal is to make users look the same and cover as many metrics as possible, in an effort to block fingerprinting techniques. Always display user language as en-US to websites, in order to protect the language used in the browser and in the OS. Disable WebGL, as it is a strong fingerprinting vector. Prevent access to the location services of the OS, and use Mozilla's location API instead of Google's API. Limit ICE candidates generation to a single interface when sharing video or audio during a videoconference. Force DNS and WebRTC inside the proxy, when one is being used. Trim cross-origin referrers, so that they don't include the full URI. Disable link prefetching and speculative connections. Disable disk cache and clear temporary files on close. Disable form autofill. Disable search and form history...and more.

    • Stopped using Windows as my main workflow. Migrated completed to Linux. Been happier than a clam without a single issue nor windows annoyance. Leaving Windows has shown me the light at the end of the tunnel, or rather I went through the tunnel and I'm already at the light.
