Guest +Bob+ Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 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,
Guest Jerry Posted July 13, 2008 Posted July 13, 2008 Re: Slipstream SP3? 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.

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. -- --- Please remove underscores, if any, from my email address to obtain the correct one. Sorry for the trouble but this is to reduce SPAM.
