I've seen instructions for creating an installation
disk with service packs integrated.
http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2_slipstream.asp
What I want to do is a little more complicated, but perhaps
possible by a similar method
I have an installation disk for WIN NT workstation. Plus I have
an upgrade disk which upgrades NT to WinXP pro. The XP pro
disk only works if there is already a valid licenced version of
windows installed. To install XP I have to
1) install NT
2) activate NT
3) install NT service packs
4) install XP (requires the service packs)
5) install hardware drivers
6) install XP service packs
which takes a bloody long time.
Is there any way to create a single install disk to install XP directly?
Preferably integrating the drivers and service packs.
