SP2 Overlay CD

[Guest]

Hi, is there any way to add the SP2 files to an original XP CD and make a
Windows XP SP2 CD so you can install at once the core OS ant the SP for new
installations ?
Thanks

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

Carey, thanks for your answer. I made what the first guide says and all
worked smoothly. I ran into the setup and install with no problems using the
resulting CD, but when the system restarted after finishing the installation
a message came up saying something like "The entered key is invalid use the
right CD to reinstall Windows XP" ...
Did you know anything like that ? Do I need a special key to use SP2 ?

Thanks again,

Maxi
