[That Mike Guy]

Any good instructions for slipstreaming a bootable SP2/WinXP CD available?
I'm using latest version of Nero but open to other means. Links
appreciated. TIA

Download the complete version of SP2. say to D:\ and rename for
convenience as XPSP2. Make three folders, D:\SP2, D:\XP and D:\boot

Go to http://www.nu2.nu/bbie/ and download the bbie.zip file, extract
bbie.exe into D:\boot

Put your CD in the drive (say letter K and select all, then copy into
D:\XP

Start - Run the line
D:\XPSP2.exe /x
and tell it to extract to D:\SP2

Start - Run D:\boot\bbie.exe K:
which will make a image1.bin file in that folder

Now you are ready.

Start Run the line
D:\SP2\update.exe /s:\XP
which will integrate the SP2 files into the ones from the CD in D:\XP

Run Nero. take CD-ROM (Boot) in the New selection. In the Boot menu
choose Image file and browse to that D:\boot\image1.bin (you will have
to select 'show all files') then check 'Enable expert . . . ', and
select No Emulation, and in the bottom box set 4 Sectors. Click New for
Nero's standard compilation. In that open the D:\XP folder to show what
the CD contents are and drag the lot onto the compilation

Burn, selecting 'Finalise disk'

Is there a way to do this with Roxio? I have tried and the CD didn't boot.

Hi Alex,
I've made several unsuccessful attempts to boot with an integrated
XP SP2 CD using Nero 5.5.10.50 and they balk at boot with a popup
saying "can't find a place for a swap file". That version doesn't give
me a choice for 4 sectors, or segments 0000. It worked before
when I slipstreamed SP-1. Is Nero 6 required for some reason with
SP-2. TIA (PS I've used four different programs to do the
integration, all worked okay, but the CD won't boot due to the
"swap file place.." thingy).

In principle - though I have not tried. You would again have to select
the No emulation, and (in Ver 6 anyway) having browsed to the file,
there is an Advanced button to allow you to set the essential 4 sectors,
which is probably where you went wrong

I haven't a 5.5 around, but AFAIK it did have a similar place to select
4 sectors. But your error message sounds as if the CD is booting, but
you do not have the right contents on it to load the setup version OS.
You need the compilation to look exactly as the original system CD did
in Explorer, with setup.exe in the root and the folders like i386
visible there
