260569 2004-08-14 21:35:00 Hi People
This all sounds pretty complicated, to me. How about somebody starting a service to turn a customers' Win XP disc into a Win XP SP2. Any of you guys up for this? Is this allowable by MS?
I'd be interested as I'm sure would other people. 		Fishb8 (484)
260570 2004-08-15 04:32:00 Haven't had a chance to read it all yet but there is a how-to article on slipstreaming here (www.pcstats.com).

I am glad you started this thread, bk T, I have learnt quite a bit from it and will have a go at slipstreaming myself sometime soon. :-) 		Susan B (19)
260571 2004-08-15 04:33:00 Oh, and keep us posted on how you get on. :-) Susan B (19)

I've slipstreamed before - nothing to it if you follow the instructions. Maybe a FAQ should be written on slipstreaming :)

I shall find the instructions I've got somewhere and post a link in here as they were very clear and worked first time. There may be updates needed due to SP2 out now, but shouldn't be too different/difficult.

Here are the instructions I used to slipstream Windows XP SP1 (they have been updated to cover SP2, but they're not much different, if at all). I am quite happy to help anyone who gets stuck on the way :D

260574 2004-08-15 05:22:00 Many thanks to Press F1 forum for giving us the opportunity to learn and share our experiences. This is really a great site.

I've really learnt a lot these few days. For your information, I have successfully slipstreamed XP and SP2 and also put in the unattended installation file (winnt.sif) and burnt it to a CD.

Thanks everyone especially Mike who is so patient with me and has given us very easy to follow instructions. :) :) 		bk T (215)

But did it work? :)

260576 2004-08-15 05:37:00 Great stuff. :-)

Does it work, though? ;-) :D

Keep us posted on that, too, bk T. :-) 		Susan B (19)

Good question . Haven't got the chance to try yet . But I used quite similar method to slipstream Office 2003 and SP1 and unattended installation . It works like magic! Just love it! 		bk T (215)
260578 2004-08-17 10:17:00 Well, I really tried hard and eventually got AutoStreamer working and burned a disc. Thought I'd try to see if it would boot and YES, sucess. Removed disc and re-booted normally. Came up with the error "missing NTLDR" press control... to reboot. Same error. Tried putting in my new disc - and it booted up ok. So now can only re-boot by putting in windows XP disc. What do I need to do now? I hate this! Fishb8 (484)
