Get nLite, d00d!! It can integrate Service Packs as well as perform some other useful tasks.

dear adiit007,
unfortunately i've not read Digit after Oct 2004 issue. and i
really don't know anything about the competition ! i don't care
who will take the prize or, whatever else. i'm just curious !

actually, earlier i've made my WinXP pro [not bootable] into
a fully bootable WinXP SP1 bootable CD with the help of WinXP SP1
available in some earlier issue of Digit. and as i have SP2 file,
so i thought there must be some way to make this possible.
that is why i wanted to if u guys have any ideas ! don't be so
mean friend :cry:


dear enoonmai,
u r right. i should check from now on before any of my posts!


dear Kl@w-24,
i'm quite aware about slipstreaming & prepration of un-attented
installation CDs of WinXP. But, my friend, have u ever test it
for yourself? the process of integration of SP2 files into WinXP SP1
CD files are very very poor & it crashes at the very first trial !

hope u guys will come up with some cool ideas after that damn
contest is over! atleast some people are here for prizes & handshakes!
not for pure & deep knowledge which will help others!!!

Yup, I've created an SP2 integrated CD using nLite and it works perfectly fine. Check this out if u wud rather prefer to do it manually :

it works manually perfectly...i've done it...only thing is i had longhorn transform pack....so uninstalling and upgrading all messed up...i ended up formating and reloading everything.......

did a clean install from slipstreamed sp2 cd....works great now...

for nlite you need to haf dotnet runtime files installed
