So you recently slip-streamed SP3 into your Windows 2000 CD, but yet the CD is not yet complete because you are lacking the appropriate SP3 setup disks. Below I will describe a method by which you can quickly and easily create updated setup disks for your Windows 2000 SP3 CD.
1. Download WinImage from
http://www.winimage.com/winimage.htm .
2. Open the floppy image for the first boot disk from the BOOTDISK directory with WinImage.
3. Print a listing of the contents of the image with WinImage.
4. Delete all files in the image except the one called disk10X where X is the disk number.
5. Add the files from the printer listing to your image from the I386 folder of your newly slip-streamed Windows 2000 base directory.
6. Run the Defrag Current Image option from the Image menu to defrag the image.
7. Save the image in the IMA file format and optionally rename the image extension to .img.
8. Repeat steps 1 - 7 for the remaining disk images.
You should now have updated versions of the Setup Disks and be able to install Windows 2000 SP3 from your newly created setup disks.
*Note you may also be able to add specialized drivers to the disks and your CD by modifying the TXTSETUP.SIF file in your I386 directory and on the first setup disk. The format and use of this file are left for someone else to explain.
