Then they can stuff all manuals CDs iside the case can they not? Your advise as I see it. > > What stops people opening a case?

I think so but there again I can be wrong. > > What man can put together then man can take apart. > Now my turn for reading and learning, thanks for that > info. When you make computers and do the warranties etc as I do then you may actually keep Customers. My point was that you don't stuff CDs and manuals inside a case. This may give you cooling issues. Apart from that I may have supplied a full system to someone and I feel that it is their system. They get on to a forum or some other Tech and that person says "This system is overheating" and then opens the case. Oh goodness gracious me. A CD or Manual just happens to be stuck over the CPU fan or PSU fan or Video fan or where the person stuck it. Any person in my view has the right to run any operating system and any applications on any system I supply. Later the person the computer was supplied to may be told WinXP or MSDOS 3.3 was not the correct operating system for the applications you want to run. The other point was that how do you know whom to trust. The issue as far as I work it out is that some people will lend or give or lose software. Just my 2 cents worth. Keep on not trusting people. Most of the time I do supply and trust. Back to the cars again. You sell me a Porche and tell me I should only depress the accelerator 2.54 mm ( one inch ) and if I depress the pedal more than that then I just may exceed a speed limit. Are you not going to sell me this car as you assume that going on various things I have said you think I will depress the accelerator as far down as it will go? |

Firstly, I want to make a backup copy of my original XP CD and since I am making a copy, why not slipstream SP1, SP2 and the CD KEY as well so that I can perform an unattended install in the future. Sorry for not making myself clear enough, Elephant. Cheers |

| 260552 | 2004-08-11 21:46:00 | Hi bk T , I have used the program several times and it works a treat. I must admit, you confused me as well. Just to clear things up for you, slipstreaming just "merges" the Service Pack and the operating system. This gives you a CD, that if you had to do a "repair" or file check, then it would have all the correct files (in this case) SP2., for your XP SP2 installation. Saves a lot of time on an install/reinstall as well, not having to load XP then SP2. The CD just contains the files for the operating system and does not contain your CD code. That is why you have the extra certificate/sticker with the number on. |

| 260553 | 2004-08-11 21:49:00 | Slipstreaming your SP with Windows is a good idea, but you will need to set up an unattended install after you have slipstreamed. More info here (www.hytekcomputer.com) And further to the OT part of this thread, in hindsight maybe my tip was a little missguided as Elephant has pointed out all the complications with it. (But I live life on the edge, and have figured out if I lay the few things I mentioned flat on the bottom of the case they do not obstruct anything) |

| 260554 | 2004-08-11 21:55:00 | The microsft instructions for unattended install here (support.microsoft.com) Actually Rob99,, I am inclined to agree with you but with one provision, that they are just "backup" copies. How many clients lose their disks is amazing, while others are organised and careful. |

| 260555 | 2004-08-11 21:59:00 | Have a lookn at Snake Foot's (snakefoot.fateback.com) slipstreaming service packs, item 11 down for XP. I'm not sure if the Win2k CD key method works for XP, try it. &: Tack Tech (www.tacktech.com) slipstreaming, to add to your reading material. Cheers Murray P |

| 260558 | 2004-08-12 10:53:00 | > And for those that are lazy, have a look at a nifty > program that not only sli[pstreams , but also gives > you the ISO. > Autostreamer (www.neowin.net > 8337) I received that program today and have made a bootable WinXP XP2 CD at this point in time. Please note that I have not yet turned my software into a unattended CDRom at this time. I used my WinXP Pro cd and the XP Service pack 2 to create the *.ISO on my hard drive. Used Alcohol 120 to burn the reultant image to CD. This boots happily. |
