After enabling a new item, the install starts and im asked for "ensure

You can always download the full SP3 CD, get NLite, and create a

Slipstreamed SP3 CD. You should be fine after that.

You need to create a slipstreamed CD

using your existing XP CD and incorporating SP3

I use AutoStreamer, it's easy to use and for the most part self explanatory

 

Auto Streamer Guide and Download Sites:

Where to download SP3

SP3 file download:

(File is large but will only install components that you PC requires)

The slipstreamed CD you create will not include any specific drivers

for your motherboard, audio, video, network, etc. Those you will

need to download from your PC manufacture's or motherboard's

web site.

Hi Jimmy,

 

Do a search for a i386 folder on your hard drive(s). Check the dates of

some files to see if they're dated 04-14-2008, if so, use the Browse in

the dialog box to point to that folder so Windows can find what it needs.

 

If you used Windows Update for SP3, you may want to download the full

service pack and extract it:

http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5B33B5A8-5E76-401F-BE08-1E1555D4F3D4

I placed the downloaded file into a folder called SP3 and then launched

it (and canceled the install after the extraction but the folder

remains). There will be an i386 folder in the extract that you can

point Windows to.

How do you go about testing such a beast to be certain it works before

you need it? It looks like an all or nothing thing; not the sort of

thing I want to run if I don't have to.

Unless you have a lot of the same machines, it's really not something a

single computer user would create, unless you just want say that you

have one.

 

You could use a third party program to partition your drive with some

unused space, so installing the "trial" could be done there. When

you're done testing, you could remove the trial partition and then

expand the existing partition to the size you require. You'd have to

remove an entry from boot.ini, but that's easily done.

 

I created a slipstreamed SP3 CD for network installs, but with so many

different workstations, it didn't make much sense to try and have all

the drivers slipped in also. I just download the appropriate drivers to

a flash drive, install XP and then load the drivers.
