Is it possible to slipstream W2000 by using a XP machine? I tried it and got
nowhere. Read an article on web saying had to be a W2000 machine in order to
do it.
Thanks
 
Yes, one can use Windows XP and create a slipstreamed Windows 2000 install
point/media. When you tried what happened and/or are you trying to use OEM
cds?

/neo

ps - oems like dell, gateway, .etc can modify the install routine which
makes it difficult to create slipstreamed media.
 
No OEM. My 2000 disk is a version from a university store that has the
serial number embedded. Don't know if that makes a difference or not.

The response I got, after following the online instuctions using the
intergrate command, was it came back (after about 2/3 of the initial process)
reflecting a list of about 10 or so additional command choices to
'apparently' add onto the initial entry. I think these were what may be
known as 'switches' ... or something like that out of DOS days.

Then, after striking the OK key, it went back to the Command window I had
opened up with the aforementioned instructions.
Thanks
 
Something 'just' occurred to me; after posting the last response. In reading
up on slipstreaming, I seem to recall that with the 2000 process, one needs
to extract, or whatever, the files in the SP4 update.

Could that be it? All I did was copy the 2000 files to a directory; the SP4
to another directory; and then followed the integration processs ... without
any extraction process. Had just done the process with my XP disk and it had
nothing like this to do; so presumed the same with 2000.
Thanks
 
Thanks Neo. Went there; but it (and others) still leaves me greatly
confused.

I'm under the impression that when the update is slipstreamed, the intent is
to get a totally 'new' bootable installation disk. But the instructions I
keep coming across seem to only discuss the I386 folder and not the other
files on the original installation disk; nor do they state whether or not to
copy a newly created I386 folder (which I finally got ... using an UPDATE
command) in place of the original one ... or whether or not to combine it's
contents with the origninal ... or whatever.

Sorry to be a pest but just trying to decipher what all of the various
instructions want accomplished in relation to what I am under the impression
the final result should be. Plus the words UPDATE and INTERGATE keep popping
up ... with no clarification when one applies over the other.

An ISO file is a disc image. All you have to do is burn the image to a CD-R(W)
disc. Do not simply burn the ISO as a file. You didn't specify the version of
Nero you're using, so you'll have to look in its help file for directions or
look at your menu options for disc or CD image.
 
Bill............YAHOO!!!!!!!!!!!! It worked. THANK YOU ... THANK YOU ...
THANK YOU !!! Followed the instructions and the disk comes out precisely
what I anticipated.

Have been searching now for the past couple of days (off and on) for further
advisories. Each and everyone of them, telling how to Slipstream, only go as
far as the creation of the ISO. From there, each one then merely says to
then "burn" the cd ... in one form or another.

NONE of them gives further information ... presuming I suppose that everyone
"out here" knows the ISO routine. Their approach sure leaves it ,overall,
shortfalled...IMO.
