How do I create a bootable XP service pack 3 CD?

[kevinla]

I did a Bing.com search, and read through the first 4 pages of search
results. There was not even one simple step by step instructions on how to
do this.

It does not seem like a difficult thing to do. I need simple step by step
instructions.

I did a Bing.com search, and read through the first 4 pages of
search results. There was not even one simple step by step
instructions on how to do this.

It does not seem like a difficult thing to do. I need simple step
by step instructions.

What did you search for?

I am curious because my first Google search comes up with a lot of good
hits - although I know a few keywords that help.

Google keywords: slipstream, "Windows XP", "service pack", nlite,
autostreamer, bbie, integrate

Anything in quotes should be typed into the search engine that way. Those
are keywords - so you would cmbine some of them to get the results. Heck -
a Google search combining the first three...

http://www.google.com/search?q=slipstream+"Windows+XP"+"service+pack"

Gives pretty good results. So I wondered if Bing would give the same:

http://www.bing.com/search?q=slipstream+"Windows+XP"+"service+pack"

Yeah - just about.

Most of those hits are step-by-step pictorials. Substitute in SP3 where you
read SP2.

nlite and autostreamer can help you by practically doing the work for you.

I would suggest http://www.nliteos.com/

You need a computer (any W2000+ OS) set-up to run nlite, but once set-up
it's a very easy system to use and gives you a lot of options for unattended
installs.
