Slipstreaming SP2 on 2 Dell XP installations

[ahall]

Archived from groups: alt.sys.pc-clone.dell (More info?)

I have two Dell machines with XP Pro.

I want to make a slipstreamed version of
the XP Pro CD.

Do I need to make one for each machine,
or would one do for both? I guess I am
asking if there is a license key on the
CD.

Thanks in advance,

One is fine. It still won't ask for a license key on either machine.

Tom, I take it from your response that there is no problem
slipstreaming Dell's XP Pro with SP2? [XP Pro as supplied with the
4600 series in mid year.]

I ask because I saw a discussion of slipstreaming somewhere recently
and they said there can be problems doing it with some OEM versions of
XP. They mentioned Dell as an example; but it was a bit ambiguous as
to whether Dell was just an example of an OEM, or an example of the
problem!

I did it with SP1 and last night with SP2.

I did a system restore from full backup when
my hard drive failed with the slipstreamed SP1.

I booted with the new SP2 disk last night.

Roxio did need to change the name of the OEM directory
before burning, but that does not seem to be an issue.

Yes, you can. Some of the newer Dell XP CDs require the deletion of a few
files before you wed SP2 with XP.

I tried slipstreaming using a Win XP Home Dell CD. The application (nlite)
gave me an error message - something about hotfixes or patches already
installed. It still wrote an ISO file, but I do not know whether it is any
good!

Ok - the message reads: " This service pack cannot be integrated into a
destination that also has integrated software updates. Consult the service
pack documentation for more details about supported integration scenarios."
Then error - there was something wrong with the slipstraemaing.

Any idea how to get around this? Just learned about this slipstreaming
process!

After you copy the XP CD to your hard drive, delete the folder that has the
updates. Then slipstream it.

I copied the original XP-CD onto my c drive as the site
to integrate SP2 into.

Did the error look like the one mentioned towards the top of:
<http://www.windows-help.net/WindowsXP/winxp-sp2-bootcd.html> ?

try this first. Delete the svcpack.ini file and svcpack folder in the i386
folder of the winxp cd you copied to your hd.

That's the error - the site says this type of CD can't be slipstreamed.
Another post here says to delete the SVCPACK folder and ini file.

No, it is not good. I did the same, and when I went through the trouble of
reinstalling from scratch, it was still SP1.

I did the slipstreaming, was able to burn a bootable CD. It boots, starts
loading stuff but then crashes at an error (some corrupted file) I forgot to
write down. So back to the drawing board for now.
