Slipstreaming Windows XP Service Pack 2 & Boot CD!


Recommended Posts

Here is Neowin's Official Slipstream XP SP2 Guide.

https://www.neowin.net/articles.php?action=more&id=94

It's good to give people options for what guide to use. :laugh:

http://www.pcuser.info/articles/slipstream_winxp_and_sp2/

As this thread is about my detailed guide and not the one you posted. I will post my link to my guide again.

Thanks for giving users the option though. Hopefully most people will have common sense to follow a guide that gives step by step information like mine instead of one which relies on previous experience.

I just saw it today and was like hmm i'll give that a go and it worked easily! (by the way i used Nero 5.5.8.3 and all the settings where there and worked)

Did you follow my guide? Also in NERO did you use all the same options as described in my guide? If so I will update it so your version is covered. Thank you for pointing this out.

What other things can u slipstream with Windows Xp for example Service Pack 2?

Drivers, Dll's, Tweaks, Software and lots of other things. I'm thinking of making a little guide that will slipstream that theme dll hack into the windows installation so that you can use non microsoft themese straight away when u install. also if i can get that to work i will see if i can integrate other visual styles that i like that are custom and see if it all works when i install winxp fresh. hope what i just said makes sense.... :p

thx ptiliffe. You like this topic dont u lol.

All i see is your most of the time replying. But thats good anyway :)

Keep the up the good work ptiliffe

I like this topic because it's something I enjoy researching and testing. When I wrote the manual I was hoping for lots of feedback, comments, suggestions, critisism etc. I don't know what else to say here apart from here is my manual ask what questions you want and I will answer them. I created this thread to answer questions and have a good chat about slipstreaming. I dont really need to ask any questions apart from if someone has done something that I don't know how to do, which might happen while writing the other manuals for this topic.

Thanks for the support. I really apreciate and support and comments I get. I've gone through a lot of bandwidth with just the article being hosted, Im imagining that this will triple with the next release of the next two manuals.

Regards

Peter :blink:

P.S If anyone is interested in helping with researching and writing the manuals please PM me or post here. If you have any ideas, comments, suggestions etc please do the same.

could you post also a pdf version of this nice guide

I certainly can host a PDF version. I did have one but I decided to remove it because I have been updating the guide around 2 times a week. But it's ok, I will rehost the PDF version and post back here when it's up. Please note that I will not clean up the PDF version so it's as neat as the web version, but if there are any difficulties understanding it or any other problems please let me know.

I'm really waiting for your next guide :)

Good job, I'll host a link to your guide when my site is finished :yes:

The next guide wont be ready for a short time as I'm not rushing to get it done like I did with this one and I'm alot more busy now. I'ts alsl going to be a lot larger I think as the complexity of the procedures covered within it. But You who read this thread will all be the first to know when it is nearly ready for posting here on Neowin.

An thanks for the support, your more then welcome to post a link from your site. I would appreciate it alot. :)

I did follow your guide ptiliffe, and yes all the options were there. They are just shown differently (due to the older interface). My assumption is that from 5.5 on there is the no ;1 iso option. I did this at work yestreday and we're not up to date on the Nero front. the version i used again was 5.5.8.3

Thanks alot. I will update the guide, when I make the PDF version available for download. Also I forgot to ask, you successfully made the CD, but was it fully bootable? I'm going to try and download a copy of NERO going right back tpo 5.5.0.0 or as far back as possible and see if I can get it to work.

It was fully bootable. I have run two from scratch installs off it already :D

Great guide. Thanks - it worked fine for me.

To add to the information base :

I integrated SP2 into an SP1 version of XP Pro Corporate. The resulting files fitted easily onto an 80min CD and it boots and installs no problem.

As an experement I also created a bootable DVD using exactly the same method as the guide. It also works fine, boots and installs.

All the best !

Thanks for that. One thing though, your previous WinXP Corporate CD, did it already have WinXPsp1 already built into it when you got it. Or was sp1 slipstreamed into the cd at a later time, and then you slipstreamed sp2 onto it.?

Hi, this is my first post here so go easy, anyway, i am sure this must have been brought up before but i just can't find it so: Is it possible to slipstream other stuff as well as SP2, for example, I tried slipstreaming the .NET framework 1.1 using nLite but it ddint work, it did however appear to let me slipstream the .NET 1.1 service pack. Is it possible to slipstream things like MSN messenger and windows media player 10?

Thanks

Okay well I'll take it easy on you since this is your first post. ;)

However, I would suggest reading the entire thread before anyone ever makes a post as most of the time you can find what you are looking for. In your case you can find your question answered multiple times. All anyone has to do is skim through the entire thread to get a good understanding of what is going on.

Anyway yes you can slipstream other things into the WindowsXP installation files, including but not limited to, dll's, hacks, tweaks, software (antivirus software or msn messenger for example), drivers and more. This procedure is currently being written into another detailed manual. It can also be done on a DVD instead of CD, this providing more room for accessories.

EDIT: Forgot to mention that you can also remove alot of things your do not want included from the original installation files.

    • Ocenaudio 3.19.3 by Razvan Serea  Ocenaudio is a full featured, fast and easy to use audio and music editor. It is the ideal software for people who need to edit and analyze audio files without complications. Ocenaudio also has powerful features that will please more advanced users. To assist ocenaudio development, a powerful toolset of audio editing, analysis and manipulation called Ocen Framework was created. ocenaudio is also based on Qt framework, a well known library for cross-platform development. Cross-platform support ocenaudio is available for all major operating systems: Microsoft Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Native applications are generated for each platform from a common source, in order to achieve excelent performance and seamless integration with the operating system. All versions of ocenaudio have a uniform set of features and the same graphical interface, so the skills you learn in one platform can be used in the others. VST plugins support Ocenaudio supports VST (Virtual Studio Technology) plugins, giving its users access to numerous effects. Like the native effects, VST effects can use real-time preview to aide configuration. Real-time preview of effects Applying effects such as EQ, gain and filtering is an important part of audio editing. However, it is very tricky to get the desired result by adjusting the controls configuration alone: you must listen the processed audio. To ease the configuration of audio effects, ocenaudio has a real time preview feature: you hear the processed signal while adjusting the controls. The effect configuration window also includes a miniature view of the selected audio signal. You can navigate on this miniature view in the same way as you do on the main interface, selecting parts that interest you and listening to the effect result in real time. Multiselection for delicate editions To speed up complex audio files editing, ocenaudio includes multi-selection. With this amazing tool, you can simultaneously select different portions of an audio file and listen, edit or even apply an effect to them. For example, if you want to normalize only the excerpts of an interview where the interviewee is talking, just select them and apply the effect. Eficient edition of large files With ocenaudio, there is no limit to the length or the quantity of the audio files you can edit. Using an advanced memory management system, the application keeps your files open without wasting any of your computer's memory. Even in files several hours long, common editing operations such as copy, cut or paste happen almost instantly. Fully featured spectrogram Besides offering an incredible waveform view of your audio files, ocenaudio has a powerful and complete spectrogram view. In this view, you can analyze the spectral content of your audio signal with maximum clarity. Advanced users will be surprised to find that the spectrogram settings are applied in real time. The display is updated immediately when altering features such as the number of frequency bands, window type and size and dynamic range of the display.
