| Quote (Guest @ Nov. 26 2004,17:48) | | Has anyone confirmed that booting form the CD actually works? I ask because I did exactly what the article said, only I used WinISO to create the image and add the bootfile. The CD would not boot, barfing "Cound not boot from CD - Code: 4" |
WinISO adds the ";1" ISO version extension. Select "Do not add ;1 to ends of filenames" or something similar like that. I use mkisofs, parameter is "-N".

Slipstream is applying service pack updates to an older OS install disk.
For example, Windows XP shipped with a ton of security vulnerabilities that have been patched with SP2. However, if you try to install XP and hook it up to the internet without at least a firewall, there's still plenty of "exploiters" trolling the web for unprotected systems. Which creates a catch-22 where you cannot download the latest service packs because the machine is most likely infected before the service pack can be retrieved.
So, a popular thing is to "PRE-Apply" Service pack 2 to the XP install process, which gives you a relatively secure base level installation...
The process of applying the Service Pack2 installation to the XP Installation process is called "Slipstreaming"

I have just slipstreamed a basic windows xp sp1 with sp2, all the latest hotfixs and also a masive collection of drivers and it's still only 620megs. I now have a version of xp that will install itself onto 99%, and all you have todo is tell it where to install and then comeback about 1hr later.
The cd also contains the following software that you can install straigh away:
Nero
AntiVir
AdAware
UltraISO
NFO reader
Unlocker 1.7.1
along with a selection of all the codecs you will ever need on your system.

Slipstreamed using this method? Or Bart's PE?
And codecs....where do I find good codec packs? I've downloaded dozens of them in my time, but they all either don't contain what I need, are corrupted, or just plain don't work.

It means that the Windows install files have Service Packs (SP) already installed on them, thus when you install the operating system it is up to date without the ritual rebootathon.

Xoben: You mentioned above: If you slipsteam SP2 to initial XP CDs, only win51ip.sp2 is created. Mine says Win51IC.SP2. Why is mine different from what you stated above? Matter of fact there are 3 files listed at Win51/ They are: WIN51, WIN51IC and WIN51IC.SP2. What does this mean? thanks

What happens if you burn a CD without the boot.bif file? Unfortunately, I did, but my CD was able to boot up without any problems. What's the purpose in your instructions for extracting the boot file and integrating it with the winxp and sp-2 file?

'boot up' - startup your PC from power-on status, can setup Windows XP to a blank harddisk
'autorun' - display a menu under Windows environment when your CD is inserted to a CD/DVD drive

I fiinally burned my CD using UltraISO. Now, how can I verify that the boot.bif was installed? ref. my earlier post. Is there something on the disk I can look for to verify this. When I followed your instructions, it created a file wxp_sp2.iso which is the one that was burned on a CD. I don't want to wait until I have to try it on a blank Hard Drive. I really would like to know how to verify that it is a legitmate bootable CD. Thanks for your patience.
