Slipstreaming Windows XP Service Pack 2 & Boot CD!

[ptiliffe]

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:

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.

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.

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

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.

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.

I'm really waiting for your next guide :)

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

[Radix]

[Dean W]

Keep up the researching and the good work , ptiliffe

Nice Guide! :D :D

[ptiliffe]

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.

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.

Ok execellent thanks for that. ;)

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.
