Guest Todd Posted September 30, 2007 Posted September 30, 2007 I am going to re-install Windows XP on my machine and found a website explaining how to slipstream SP2 with my Windows XP CD but the link it provided for SP2 http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?familyid=049c9dbe-3b8e-4f30-8245-9e368d3cdb5a&displaylang=en is over 3 years old. I was curious if there is a newer version of the SP2 patch with all the latest patches already in it so I can save more time than having to download the rest of the patches, I believe this is over 100. Thanks!
Guest R. McCarty Posted October 1, 2007 Posted October 1, 2007 Re: Slipstream SP2 A much easier & robust way to slipstream both Service Packs and other components (IE, Media Player, Hotfixes) is a program called nLite. http://www.nliteos.com/index.html The FAQ and Guides has very useful info on how to use nLite.

You can check out the download here although I can't say if it will be all of the updates included with it. http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx You could also get any updates from here and incorporate them into the slipstream disk: http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/Browse.aspx?DisplayLang=en&nr=20&productId=38DF6AB1-13D4-409C-966D-CBE61F040027&sortCriteria=date You'll have to go through the pages to find them all. -- Brian A.

Thanks! IMO the frustration and time with creating and proving it works is useless compared to using a simple imaging program. Slipstreaming is never up to date anyway as updates come out weekly.

It also seems silly to me to make an image when the point of me formatting my HDD is to rid myself of the junk that has infested itself into my computer. Why do I want an image with all the garbage it has collected, I want a clean start.
