Help with making a Windows XP slipstreaming bootable cd

[Jim]

I've followed the instructions on this web site but I have a problem making
the cd bootable.
I'm trying to use either Isobuster or PowerIso but I can't seem to locate
any .ing file What I finially did was burn all the files to a cd. Everything
is there but it is not bootable. Appreciate suggestions please.

I would just use nLite to create a slipstreamed XP SP2. It is a very easy
program and free. nLite has a "make bootable" button. No hassle. It made
mine from an XP Gold cd and the downloaded SP2 in about six minutes.

..img not .ing
Most third party cd writing apps, eg Nero have the ability to create a
bootable cd

Thanks to all who replied.

Yes I was now able to create my windows xp slipstream cd and I verified that
everything is on the bootable cd.

I am attempting to do a Windows Repair. Everything proceeded correctly until
it got to a file named clbcatq.dll which it said it could not find it in the
\i386 folder. I attempted to "skip" that file but discovered that there was
a whole series of other *.DLL files that could not be found.

I eventually aborted the "repair" sequence and checked the disk. Indeed
there is a file named clbcatq.dl_ in the i386 folder plus all the other
*.dl_ that it did not recognize. What is the difference between the .dl_
extension and .dll?

WHAT DO I DO NOW?

The .dl_ is compressed. You have some kind of hardware problem
preventing the CD files to be properly extracted to the hard drive.
Possible problems: system memory, optical drive unable to read the
slipsteamed CD. Start by running memtest86+.

Problems copying files or corrupted files during installation (even
a Repair installation) are most often caused by defective, incompatible,
or sub-standard hardware; in order of likelihood, either RAM, the hard
drive, or the motherboard. On very rare occasions the CD drive or
installation CD is the problem.

Start with testing the RAM. You might try MemTest86:
http://www.memtest86.com/ It's free. Then you can download and use the
hard drive manufacturer's diagnostic utility to test the hard drive. If
both RAM and hard drive test out clean, check with the motherboard
manufacturer for any diagnostic utilities.

Did you make sure you booted from the CD and not from your hard drive? If
you have any programs operating like GoBack or Rollback they must be removed
first.
