Re-installing XP

[JS]

I want to reinstall XP Pro.


I have got the original CD.
I also have a CD I made which slipstreams both SP1 and XP Pro.
I have got SP2 a a standalone hotfix file.


Is the best way for me to get a brand new installation to install XP
Pro from the original CD and then to apply my standalone SP2 hotfix.

For better results, create a new Windows XP CD
with SP 2 slipstreamed, then "clean install" Windows XP.

Either one of the following utilities makes slipstreaming
(integrating) SP2 into Windows XP a breeze:

or

AutoStreamer 1.0.33 (preferred)
