I have founfd this site to be very helpful in my quest to produce a Windows XP SP1 bootable CD.

I have at last succeeded using a slightly modified version of the windows 2000 procedure. My procedure is describe below

This procedure used the CDRWIN 3.9B program (www.goldenhawk.com) to extract the xpboot.bin from the boot sector and create a bootable Windows XP SP1 CD.

Slipstreaming Procedure:

A step-by-step procedure for slipstreaming Windows XP and Service Pack 1 can be found at the following web site:

http://www.windows-help.net/WindowsXP/winxp-sp1-bootcd.html

NOTE: this site also has a detailed procedure for making a bootable-slipstreamed Windows XP SPI CD using Nero 5.5.9.9.

Extracting the xpboot.bin from Windows XP CD:

Before a bootable Windows XP CD can be created, the xpboot.bin must be extracted from the boot sector of the Windows XP CD. The procedure for extracting the equivalent file from Windows 2000 has been described on thetechguide:

http://www.thetechguide.com/win2kbootcd/bootsector.html

The procedure for extracting xpboot.bin is exactly the same as for Windows 2000 except that the image file name is called xpboot.bin.

Creating a Bootable Slipstreamed Win XP SP1 CD:

Step-by-step procedure for making a Windows XP SP1 CD is based on the same procedure for making a Windows 2000 bootable CD:

http://www.thetechguide.com/win2kbootcd/

I made the following changes the Windows 2000 procedure for Windows XP:

1. Under the Backup/Tool Operation, I selected Build and record an ISO9660 image file.

2. I named the folder containing the slipstreamed Windows XP SP1 WXPOEM_EN that was then copied into the File Backup List as described for Windows 2000.

3. Under Image File Name, I named my ISO9660 image WXPOEM_EN.

4. Under ISO 9660 Advanced Options and the Volume Descriptor tab, I used WXPOEM_EN for the Volume Label.

5. Under ISO 9660 Advanced Options and the Bootable Disc tab, the only change from the Windows 2000 procedure was that I used xpboot.bin for the Image File Name.

6. At the main screen click the START button to begin the procedure. First the WXPOEM_EN ISO 9660 image file is created and this is then automatically burned on a CD. The CD produced by this procedure successfully booted from the CD ROM drive when I rebooted my computer.

If you guys are having trouble getting your slipstreamed XP cd to boot, this is probably why:

The intructions for making a bootable slipstreamed WinXP CD are the same as the instructions for making a bootable slipstreamed Win2k CD, except for the part about extracting the boot sector.

In my XP cd, I found that the boot sector was at LBA 293 instead of 20.

When trying to make a bootbale XP cd, If you follow the instructions for making bootbale a win2k disc and extract sector 20, your XP cd will not boot, because sector 20 on the XP cd does not contain the boot sector.

I was able to create a bootable cd without using WinISO. THe only things I used were:

My Original Windows XP CD
ISO Buster (to locate the addres of the XP Boot sector)
The demo version of CDRwin 3.9b
Nero (to burn the ISO image created with CDRwin)

Note: you can also extract the XP boot sector with IsoBuster, since it allows the extraction of specific sectors.

By the way..the Slipstreamed XPSP1 CD I made installs like a champ!

The slipstream works great. The same procedure as that for Windows 2000. No bad things till date.

Bug fixes are numerous and the system. All one needs is a different key. The FCKGW.............. does not work any more.

GREAT and ENJOY

How are we to get another key, i got the slipstream to work, or at least the cd boots to install XP, but what of a new Key?

same here. i have the corp editon. just changed the activation key in the reg. and it works fine to update to sp1

I found a little program at Windowsxp.nu called \"WinCDMan.exe\" that will do everything for you, including post SP1 patches and even the burning process. I have the file but it\'s no longer available on Bink\'s site, atleast I can\'t find it anymore. If anyone wants it just send me an email [email protected] and I\'ll send it to you. Very simple and effective program.

The way that I made my XP SP1 CD was:

1.) Follow the slipstreaming process that is described here on the site...it works flawlessly.
2.) Use WinISO to read your real XP CD and save it to an ISO
3.) Remove ALL of the files and folders out of your newly created ISO (this will NOT remove the boot partition so this is what we want!!!)
4.) Add the files and then add each directory that you slipstreamed. Now you have the boot sector plus the entire XP cd with SP1.
5.) Save the ISO and burn with any program that can read ISO files (Nero is what I used)

VIOLA!

You guys are making this slipstreaming harder than it is! I don\'t understand why all the problems. Unless you are trying to put two OS\'s on one CD, the process is simple.

Following the easy directions provided by the following site. It shows you how to slipstream, then make burn it so that it boots:

It does work, all you need to do is to extract all the contents of the CD onto you Hard drive and slip stream the files into the i386 directory. There is notes on microsofts site about the deployement over sp1 for xp and use the approriate switches some thing /s i think or something.

Look in the deployment guide for intergrated installation and do the neccesary procedesures. Then make it bootable and away you go baby! it works!

Any help with getting by with the code check when atttempting to update/load SP1 on ms site?

Anonymous · « **Reply #32 on:** October 19, 2002, 04:07:37 AM »

Using the MS supplied instructions (res kit and their support site) I have a slipstreamed XP sp1 directory. Using the bootable sector from blink.nu, i was able to make it bootable and it works fine. using setup manager, I created an unattend.txt

I cant seem to figure out how to have my cd use this file tho.

also, does an install running a fully automated answer file give you the opportunety to fit f6 and load RAID drivers? I use a promise controller in one of my systems and I need to load the fastrack 100 drivers, or the install fails.

This also prevents me from using a normal dos image as my boot sector as I can\'t install NT under dos on that system, it fails copying files in DOS. If it worked I cold run a batch file and have it call the unattented.txt file.

Any help would be appreciated

I\'m trying to make a multiboot cd with windows xp sp1 slipstreamed and w2k pro. The w2k pro is working just fine
I have made usual changes to the setupldr.bin (4 places) and txtsetup.sif (setupsourcepath = \"ENGLISHXPPRO\"), but when the setup restarts the first time, it prompts me for windows xp sp1 cd in path \"i386\".
How do I get past this problem? Plz help me...

ok..so i slipstreamed the sp1 into my xp corp...burnt an automatted install cd it boots perfectly, runs the install with NO user input, and installs norton 2002 with latest virus definitions and oembrands my logo in the system properties hee hee hee

If you left the name of the file \" unattended txt.\" this is the reason the answer file does not work. you have to name the file \"winnt.sif\" this then creates two files the batch file and the winnit sif file these are then placed in the i386 directory.

I have office 2k on a cd and it installs with winXP sp1 cd with just a access of the winXP cd for file protection purposes. It works great and I gave my old non-sp1 cd away.

Anonymous · « **Reply #38 on:** November 19, 2002, 04:26:05 PM »

creating the slipstream XP CD with SP1 was no problem and installing XP was No problem, However when I performed a windows update it appeared as though I needed the SP1 and a slew of other critical updates.

Have any of you tried windows update after the slipstreamed XP install??

Frank
