In following instructions in creating a XP-SP2 Slipstream CD given in
www.helpwithwindows.com , I created 2 Folders on my C: drive , namely
SP2 and XP-CD.

I d/l the SP2 file , "WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.EXE" , from the Web
and placed it into the SP2 Folder.

I then copied the contents of my XP Pro Upgrade CD to the Folder
XP-CD. This appeared as the sub-Folder "X1APCCP_EN(Z)" which contained
a few files and the following sub-Folders :-DOCS,DOTNETFX,1386,SUPPORT
& VALUEADD.

Next I entered the string :- "C:\SP2\WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU
/integrate:C:\XP-CD" (without quotes) into the RUN box and pressed
ENTER.

The integration started but stopped before completion with the error
(summarised version :-

"Failed to copy some or all files necessary....Please check that :-

a) No network or copy errors exist

b)Format of destination is OK

The files to be integrated must reside in an I386 folder and/or ia64
or nec98 directory ......"


Canyou tell me what the problem is here ?

Is it due to my use of a XP Upgrade CD ?

Was it correct to include the root Folder X1APCCP_EN(Z) when copying
the XP Upgrade CD?

It is far easiest to just use AutoStreamer:

As Malke said use AutoStreamer, it's uncomplicated and easy to use.
Just remember that it creates an .ISO file which you need to specify to your
CD burning software when burning the slipstreamed CD.

Thanks for the replies.

I took your advice and used Autostreamer . That sorted it - I agree
its much simpler than fooling around with the old method .
