HOW TO CREATE BOOTABLE XPSP 2 CD with Integrated SP2

G

Guest

Hi ,
I Used Windows XP CD and SP2 CD to create an integrated installation source
in c:\winxpsp2.

Now i want to make a bootable CD from that. I tried to copy the contents of
the c:\winxpsp2 to a blank CD ( using Nero ) and it won't boot.

Also, Nero has some feature which allows it make a bootable CD , however it
boots into DOS.

I want to make it to boot stright to Windows Setup. ( the way win CDs come
from MSDN )

how do we do that ?

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

or

AutoStreamer 1.0.33 (preferred)
