XP Admin CD Creation

[BMillikan]

Does anyone know how to create a bootable XP CD with all current
drivers/patches/add-ons that you want on it already (and drivers specific to
that particular machine)? I'd like to do this for all my systems running
Windows (if possible).

Thanks,
Brian

If you already have an installation, but need a disk for a specific
machine (I understand that is your question): you could use "Bart's
Preinstalled Environment (BartPE)" http://www.nu2.nu/pebuilder/ - helped
me quite a few times when something went wrong.
And to rebuild an installation CD from your own legit installation there
is f.i. http://www.petri.co.il/windows_2000_xp_sp_slipstreaming.htm

Hope this helps.

Do you mean an installation CD with everything integrated or some CD that
boots into, say, BartPE and can be used to repair said PC?

Hello and thanks for your reply.

Yes, I meant create a special CD/DVD for each of my Windows systems with
just the required drivers installed and all the patches/security
updates/service packs and even various other "stuff" like PowerToys and such.
That's what I'm trying to do. BTW, I'd like to do the same for Mac OS X,
Linux (Fedora Core 7 or 8) and/or Ubuntu and Solaris (if necessary). As far
as Microsoft is concerned, I have to keep one box running Win98 and I don't
have all the patches/service packs/etc for it and I've got some posts out
there asking for that. Any help in those areas would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks again,
Brian
