Slipstream SP3?

I'm looking for a pointer to directions for creating a slipstream SP3
CD.

Also, if I do this, will the resulting CD be able to boot and do a
"repair" operation on an existing SP3 ? Or will it only do full
installs?

Thanks,
 
Do a Google search for AutoStreamer version 1.0.33 - it is probably the
easiest 'help' you can get in slipstrteaming. It will make an ISO file which
you use to make a bootable CD. It will be no different in use or function
than your original XP CD.

Wonderful stuff!

A little additional information. After following the steps(they must be
done as an administrator) listed on the above page to slip stream the XP
Pro files with SP3(assume the resulting slipstreamed files were in
c:\xpsp3), to actually make the bootable iso image or to burn a CD, what
I did was (do not like Roxio or Nero):

Downloaded bbie (http://www.nu2.nu/bbie/) and used it to grab the
bootable image from the MS XP installation disk. bbie is just a binary,
no installation necessary (sweet!). The command used was (in command
prompt): bbie -v g:
where g: was my cdrom drive. It gave me the boot image file in the
current directory.

Next, I installed InfraRecorder (http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/)
which is an open source and free CD/DVD recorder for Windows (bye bye
Roxio and Nero). I selected all the contents of c:\xpsp3 to be burned. I
also specified the bootable image file(created by bbie) from Project
Properties of infrarecorder. Then I created an ISO image of the slip
streamed XP Pro. I was able to burn this ISO image to a CD using
infrarecorder (there was no need to actually create the ISO image, but I
wanted to retain it).

Viola! The XP Pro SP3 cd!

Regards.
