how to slipstream and the what are the capabilities of a slipstreamed boot cd

[mgm]

I would like to enable large LBA upon install of my original WinXP pro os so
that the entire 320 GB of harddrive can be formatted and kept as a single
partition. The original WinXP Pro edition can only access, see 128 GB.
Can anyone please point me to instructions on how to slipstream sp1 and sp2
into a bootable WinXP OS install disc? And will a slipstreamed OS be able
to "see" and format a 320 GB hard drive initially. Western Digital has
suggested that I purchase 3rd party disk "magic" software. I'm hoping the
microsoft can provide updates to the limitation of it's original WinXP
edition... thanks

Use autostreamer
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/System-Tweak/Autostreamer.shtml but you
only need to slipstream the XP disk with SP2.
Best of luck

If your BIOS supports it, yes.
