Integrating service packs for Xp pro

[Guest]

HI,

MY copy of win xp pro has no service paks on it I want to make my a cd
For installation of it with the service paks included in the installation

I have pretty much figured out how to do this

My only question is do I need to integrate (slipstream) sp1a then Sp2

Or can I just use sp2

Or is there a list of updates need to do my version of XP pro is one of the
first ones before all the updates if so can I download them and integrate
them into my version of XP pro

Any help, links to articles, or software to help me do this greatly
appreciated
I am a tinker of my computer and change hardware frequently and ea time xp
needs to start over from scratch, which is ok, but with all the updates it
takes time

Thanks TJH

You definitely don't need to install SP1, just SP2 since that includes
everything in SP1. It's always been that way for NT service packs.

I also have slipstreamed service packs into Windows 2000 and XP. The
problem I have is that I don't know how to make the CD bootable, and I don't
mean by booting into DOS, then having to run WINNT.exe. I need the computer
to boot from the CD and start the install, just like an original media CD
does.
If you can tell me how to do that, it would be appreciated.

Thanks
