Here is a new problem. I have been trying to make this prog. work without much success.

In hope that this might help someone else (or someone else help me) I am now getting a message:

"The Slipstreaming Procedure requieres Windows 2000/XP/2003. AutoStreamer will now quit"

Note: I am running XP w/SP2 - (just upgraded to SP2 a few minuts ago)

Prior to this message (and the installation of SP2) I was getting the error sound and nothing else.

Been reading this thread front to back - I haven't seen this problem reported yet!

Any ideas anyone?

Thanks,

:huh: I am getting the message "Wrong Operating System" when I run AutoStreamer version 1.0.28, 29, 30 or 33. I thought that this was fixed in 10.29, and have uninstalled and reinstalled each of the builds without success. Is there a reg key that needs to be deleted after the uninstall that will solve this problem?

Thanks,

Joe

Why doesn't Autostreamer recognize as OS inputs slipstreamed CD it has created?

I created an XP SP1 CD using 1.0.30 of Autostreamer then tried to use it as input to creating a slipstreamed CD with SP2 and Autostreamer would not recognize the slipstreamed SP1 CD as a valid OS CD.

And yes I know SP2 contains everything SP1 contains and I could use it with the original XP CD but that doesn't explain why Autostreamer doesn't recognize/support the CDs it creates.

Yea, same thing I just noticed this morning (funniest thing hm)! I made a slipstream long, long time ago, so long ago I can't even remember with what and how ;) anyway it was huge, something like 787 or whatever, but then I made another one using Autopatcher .33 and guess what, the fileseize is fine sp1 - 531,701,760 bytes and sp2 - 609,832,960 bytes. This is of course the 5.1.2600.0 (Gold) Corporate Winblows version.

So check what you're doing wrong, it's not the proggy. The program is perfect :) Thank you guys for saving us headaches and all the best in the future!

Thats my EXACT cd, im useing it to. I got a SP1 on it and am now trying to get SP2.

I couldnt find the edit button, but ive been trying to make sp2 on my cd.

I used "VirtualCloneDrive" to host the iso from sp1 and its working good, but the first time i try, it gives me an out of bounce error and closes, next time (currently) it seems to hang up about 1/3rd of the way. when i did sp1 i got it to this point and than left to goto work, im going to let this run over night.

does it matter that when i try to install the sp's normaly it says invalid cd key? will it say that when i try to do a clean format?

Hi People,

My first post here so please bear with me :)

I slipstreamed SP4 into W2K and it all went fine but when I used the resulting disc to do an install I found that the MS Java Virtual Machine component had disappeared.

I did a second slipstream thinking something had gone wrong but got the same result.

I can intstall the JVM seperately but shouldn't need to do that as it's on the original W2K disc

This is my first try at slipstreaming and I'm wondering if I'm doing something wrong so can anyone tell me why the Java bit doesn't doesn't want combine with SP4?

Cheers.

Colin

If I remember right, they took out MSJava from SP4. MS got told off and had to drop their version of java. You need to install the Sun Java instead.

Yes it's very odd...if W2K is installed normaly from the original disc and then updated with SP4 the MS Java is available...slipstreaming SP4 and Java doesn't work...never mind I've added MS Java seperately and that's the end of it...one of them Windows quirks to drive you loopy I guess :laugh:

ive already generated iso using autostreamer but it's 787mb. is it that big

My XPSP2 cd is about 480mb, there are a few things that can be removed... (if you havent already...)

http://www.unattended.msfn.org/advanced/sp...saving_tips.htm

DOCS, VALUEADD, and SUPPORT. This will free up 22.3 MB or so.

Let's go in further by navigating to the I386 directory with your Windows Setup Source. If you don't plan to use this CD to upgrade from a previous OS, you can delete the following folders:

WIN9XMIG, WIN9XUPG and WINNTUPG. This will free up 37.6 MB

If you have a localized language version of Windows in your own language, then you probably can also delete:

LANG. This will free up approximately 99 MB (This may vary)

As of Windows XP SP2, an extra folder known as cmpnents is added, with Tablet PC and .NET Framework 1.0 components which is also considered safe to delete (This folder may also contain Media Center components, which I'm unsure of as I don't personally use MCE).

cmpnents. This will free up 25.2 MB

I'm a newbie here so first of all ... hi.

Bit of a rookie when it comes to computers but am willing to try things.

I wanted to slipstream XP Pro & SP2.

I Googled & came here.

The links I try for downloading Autostreamer are dead.

I have been searching with Google for an hour but no luck in a download.

Is the latest version available & if so, where may a get it?

AutoPatcher can do that job for you

Give it a try.

Autopatcher cannot slipstream service packs into an install disc, this is what autostreamer is for!

Autostreamer can be found here: http://mhtools.knoware.nl/raptor/autostrea...utoStreamer.exe

I've got a Windows 2000 Advanced Server CD which somehow is not bootable.

Will AutoStreamer make my new slip streamlined CD bootable? Or do I need to provide a bootable image? If I need a boot image is it ok using Windows XP boot image for Windows 2000 Advanced Server?

Just give it a try, what's one CD. If you use a CD-RW or CD+RW you can format it again.....if it won't work for you. Don't use the Windows XP boot image for your W2k.

Hello,

I have box with win 2003 server, autostreamer gives me this error message.Please help..

    • Linux 7.1 arrives with an NTFS overhaul and major hardware performance boosts by Paul Hill The founder of the Linux kernel has just announced the availability of Linux 7.1. This is a stable version of the kernel that will now be tested by various Linux distributions before it is shipped to users through update managers. Some users, like those on Debian, for example, might not get it for a long time, if at all, while Fedora users can expect it in the near future. With Linux 7.1 out on time, the merge window for Linux 7.2 is now open, giving contributors the opportunity to send in major new features that have been waiting for the last two months. Torvalds warned that he is currently travelling and will be in another timezone, so timing for the merge window may be irregular due to timezone differences and limited internet access. Torvalds said that he has already fetched early pull requests to allow him to do some offline work, but the travel could still cause disruption. Right now, he is not planning to extend the release, but did consider it. He said he might later regret not extending, though. In terms of this last week of development for Linux 7.1, Torvalds said there were no major or alarming changes. This week consisted mostly of smaller driver updates to GPU, networking, and sound, networking fixes, trace tooling fixes, and misc minor fixes. The shortlog this week lists fixes for driver bugs, memory leaks, I/O and USB fixes, networking and RDMA fixes, DRM/graphics fixes, and tooling and verification improvements. Specific fixes include USB series heap-overflow and buffer overflow fixes, and multiple use-after-free, memory-leak, and refcount corrections across subsystems such as i2c, zram, gpio, and net. There are fixes for graphics drivers, including amdgpu, i915, and virtio, as well as hypervisor and virtualization tweaks affecting mshv, vmbus, and hyperv. According to Phoronix, anyone running Linux 7.1 should look out for the new NTFS driver, Intel FRED for improved performance on Panther Lake and future CPUs, faster graphics with Intel Arc Battlemage, and improvements for older AMD Radeon GPUs. If you are running Linux on your computer and everything is fine, then you don’t need to worry about updating to Linux 7.1 as a priority; just wait for it to be pushed to you. If you have tried Linux on hardware but it didn’t work properly, trying again with a distro that uses Linux 7.1 could cause Linux to work on your machine, thanks to the new hardware support.
