"fuse" WinXPSP1 and SP2?

CyberGhost

Hi,

I remember some people were talking about a way to burn both xp and sp2 disk into one disk, so next time both will install from one disk.

Can you please tell how is that done?

tman

it's called slipstreaming

i found that tutorial nice and easy to follow
it should also be possible to integrate hotfixes using the same method, i'm too lazy to try it though. (broadband + automatic updates do it all in feck all time anyway)

^ looks easy enough to follow (I only took a quick glance.)

Otherwise, google "slipstream xp" ...

Thanks guys!

NLITE will also do the job as well as integrating hotfixes. ALso allows you to customise your XP install to your own requirements.

Usually saves me a couple of hours of 'footling' when I have to reinstall XP.
