Not fun...

I have tried 3 times to make a bootable slipstream cd using this from the eldar geek website.

It plain doesnt work...

I have looked to other guides - such as this one. But they seem to be overkill...

Alls i want to do is create a windows xp cd that installed SP 1.a from install.

From there it would be nice to get Windows Media player 9 , DX9 and MSN messagner 6.0 and things..but lets stick to teh basics..

so oh master tech people - care to help me out?

Okay here goes....

Slipstreaming Windows XP to SP1a:
After using this guide, you should be able to install Windows XP with SP1a already integrated onto a computer.

1. In preparation, create a folder like C:\XP. Inside that folder, create 3 subfolders:


CD-ROOT
XP-BOOT
XP-SP1A


2. Copy the entire contents of your original Windows XP CD to C:\XP\CD-ROOT.

3. Download the network version of the service pack and save it to C:\XP [ http://download.microsoft.com/download/5/4...sp1a_en_x86.exe ]

4. Extract the service pack using the following command:

   C:\XP\xpsp1a_en_x86.exe /U /X:C:\XP\XP-SP1a

5. Apply the service pack to your original CD image using the following command:

   C:\XP\XP-SP1a\UPDATE\UPDATE.EXE /S:C:\XP\CD-ROOT

6. To make the CD Bootable, you'll have to download this Microsoft Boot Image [ http://www.semicoolsoftware.com/downloads/...s/MS-BOOTCD.bin ] and follow these instructions:

   Note: These instructions were made for Nero Burning Rom - best burning software hands down. Go get it!

From the New Compilation Window, select CD-ROM (Boot)
Under the BOOT tab, choose 'image file', and browse to the MS-BOOTCD.bin you just downloaded.
Choose no emulation, and change the number of loaded sectors to 4.
Under the LABEL tab, set the following properties:

Volume Label : WXPVOL_EN
System Identifier : WXPVOL_EN
Volume Set : WXPVOL_EN
Publisher : MICROSOFT_CORPORATION
Data Preparer : MICROSOFT_CORPORATION
Application : WXPVOL_EN


Proceed to burn the entire contents of your CD-ROOT folder, and finalize the CD.

7. Your done! Remember to always use the latest version of Nero.

[color=\"blue\"]Slipstreaming Office XP to SP1:[/color]

After using this guide, you should be able to install Office XP with SP1 already integrated onto a computer.

1. Download the admin version of the service pack [ http://download.microsoft.com/download/off...-us/oxpsp1a.exe ]

2. Run the executable file and accept the license agreement.

3. Extract the Service Pack to your hard drive. For example, type C:\OXPSP1A and click OK.

4. Now use your original Office XP CD to make an administrative install point. To do this, use the command setup /a.

5. When asked for an installation folder, choose somewhere easy to remember on your disk, ex. C:\OFFICEXP

6. Next, use this command to apply the update:

    msiexec /a c:\officexp\proplus.msi /p c:\oxpsp1a\MAINSP1_Admin.msp SHORTFILENAMES=1

7. When update is done, burn the contents of c:\officexp to CD. You have your own Office XP-SP1 slipstreamed CD!

NOTE: You can append /qb+ to the command in step 6 to avoid receiving the Office XP Administrative Installation dialog box and the End User License Agreement dialog box.

NOTE: You can follow the same procedure to slipstream an Office-SP1 CD to SP2!
You *must* apply SP1 before trying SP2, then repeat the above steps, changing the filenames as necessary
