SlipStreaming a Service Pack
|
|
Download the Service Pack |
|
| 1. | Download the latest Service Pack from Microsoft's web site. |
| 2. | This will typically be one large executable file. |
| 3. | Run the executable with a -x at the end. e.g. "xpsp2.exe -x" - no quotes |
| 4. | It will first verify the integrity of the file. |
| 5. | Then you will be prompted for a location to extract the Service Pack. |
| 6. | For the example, use c:\xp_sp2 |
| 7. | Click on OK when the extraction is complete |
Copying the Source Files |
|
| 1. | If your WindowsXP source files are already on the computer's hard drive you can skip this section. |
| 2. | Insert your WindowsXP CD |
| 3. | If prompted, do not install WindowsXP |
| 4. | Create a directory on the hard drive and copy the entire contents of the CD to that directory |
| 5. | For example, use c:\winxp |
Performing the SlipStream |
|
| 1. | Given the previous examples, go to the c:\xp_sp2\i386\update directory |
| 2. | Run: update.exe -S:c:\winxp |
| 3. | When it is finished, you will see the message The Integrated install has completed successfully |
| 4. | You can now copy the c:\winxp directory to a CD or other location. |
| 5. | If you need to make a bootable CD ROM, there are other locations on the Internet with good detailed instructions. |
