| 260539 | 2004-08-11 10:59:00 | Anybody knows how to 'slipstreaming' Windows XP so that I can burn a backup CD and put it aside for future use; just in case I forget or misplaced the CD key. Cheers |

| 260541 | 2004-08-11 11:47:00 | 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) | Pheonix (280) | ||
| 260542 | 2004-08-11 12:27:00 | Phoenix, that looks great! Have you used it before? In the brief description screenshots, nothing mention about entering the CD KEY. Don't we require to key in the CD Key during the installation (XP setup process)? This is important, because my main purpose is, if I misplaced the cd key, I can still use this CD to set up Windows. |

| 260543 | 2004-08-11 12:45:00 | A tip for anyone thinking they might loose CD Keys, CD's, Mobo instructions: 1) Place the OS CD and Drivers CD inside the cover of the mother-board instruction manual along with important CD keys. 2) Pop the side off your computer case, place inside, put the side back on. Especially useful if you look after many computers and you can't rely on the owners to keep this stuff safe. |

You have a Win XP CD and a key for that. Do not lose that. You paid as we mostly do so protect your CD and key. Are you looking for an unattended install for example? I am about to slipstream my WinXP Pro CD to allow me to make a boot WinXP Pro disk with WinXP SP 1 and 2. As I have now worked it out SP2 includes SP1. Why not use notepad or wordpad or office Word or a pen and paper to actually print or write your actual CD key and make multiple copies even. Take the output and store elsewhere. If you just want to make a backup of your original XP CD then make a copy. Or just keep a copy on paper of the CDKey you actually have and store it elsewhere. For all I know you have a computer like an HP and a recovery disk. |

What happens if I deliver a computer along with the Operating System CD, Drivers on CD and Manual? Should I put all this inside the case? > 2) Pop the side off your computer case, place inside, > put the side back on. Oh great. In this day and age you can get a side off a midi or tower case. What happens if you have a person who owns a midi tower case where the side will not actually come off? You have to take both sides off do you not? > > Especially useful if you look after many computers > and you can't rely on the owners to keep this stuff > safe. How do do know who is safe? So all computers I make I stuff the Motherboard manual, three or more CD Disks and a few extra cables for SATA all inside this case? Maybe DivX spare audio cables and then try to keep it all cool? So what happens when the next door neighbours kid comes around and opens the case? When I make a computer I do my best as far as I see it. I don't use recovery disks and I supply a full version of whatever O/S is required. This along with whatever applications are wanted. I just can't stop people "lending " their CDs to other people. This does happen. |

Can you say though that quite a few people here in this forum know how to open a system case? This in particular the people asking for help. I would like to know how you re-route cables to go around the motherboard manual and CD disks you have inside the case. What stops people opening a case? A few screws as I understand it. What man can put together then man can take apart. My apologies to any Ladies reading this. |
