MVP Question? Re: Slip Streaming Windows XP W/SP2

J

Jim Mac Millan

Hello,

I am not sure where I found the post but it had a link to Paul
Thurrott's SuperSite for Windows: Slipstreaming Windows XP with SP 2.

http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2_slipstream.asp

I successfully integrated SP2 into the Windows XP setup files. I used
ISO buster to get the image file off the original install CD. I used Nero 5
and set the number of tracks to 4 and matched the label to the original. I
made sure to use the the image file that ISO buster collected. And I have
Kind Of Emulation set to No Emulation.

When the newly created CD Boots is says that it cannot find the file
"NTLDR". I know that I missing something but I have followed the Paul's
instructions 3 time now and still receive the missing file message.

Any Idea What I Am Missing?
TIA
Jim

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

One thought: Did you set Nero's burn to Finalise the disk? You
presumably put all the files in the main compilation - and *inside*
their i386 folder still?

That tacktech article is particularly good and I can vouch for it. I did
try out Winsupersite as well, but it wasn't as comprehensive and I couldn't
get a successful burn on an RW. However tacktech's piece worked like a
charm - There were a few features in that article that might have made a
difference - Like the load segment of sectors being 0000 and not 07CO,
various elaborate labels, and the like. The RW then burnt perfectly without
finalizing. I repeat - You don't need to finalize the XP CD to make it
work/bootable.

As for the autostreamers - I'd never use them - It takes the fun out of it
and makes it too easy - And I need to *know* what I'm doing to my disk.
