- Terc, on 10/27/2007, -0/+29I have been doing this for a while. Use these apps in this order:
nLite for customization/sp2 slipstream http://www.nliteos.com/
DriverPacks BASE (and related Driver Packs) http://driverpacks.net/DriverPacks/index.php/DriverPacks/
RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/updatepack.html
Final result: Unattended Windows XP install with no worries about drivers or updates =)
(note: You will need to use a DVD or alternate method of storage if you choose to integrate all drivers, personally, I use network boot) - deacont23, on 10/27/2007, -1/+28Did your CD-key start with FCKGW? Hah
- profOblivion, on 10/12/2007, -0/+14See, it's comments like that, that make some newcomers think that diggers are nothing but a bunch of elitist jerks.
- Greyarea, on 10/12/2007, -0/+12"Whoever doesn't already know how to do this..."
...is probably someone who doesn't use XP exclusively but still has a use for this information.
Bit like me in fact. - meshman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+12What am I missing here?
1 - Go everywhere, download all drivers and service packs, create this disc.
2 - Install XP. After any amount of time (lets say a year), some reason comes along to have you re-do the OS (spyware, bad HD, etc).
3 - All drivers on the disc you created are now out of date. Goto 1.
I never download drivers and keep them. I used to do that, keep a folder on another HD with all those driver but by the time I need to use them again, they're all out of date and I have to download them again anyway. What's the point? - lolhax, on 10/12/2007, -1/+9BAH........

'nuff said. - Maasneotek, on 10/12/2007, -0/+6You're missing a LOT, :) Seriously, have you installed XP PRE SP2? the downloads and updates take forever to download let alone install, (especially on older machines). I've always been extremely thankful XP lets us slipstream updates.
Unfortunately I heard that MS wont be releasing an SP3 any time soon. which means like 300mb of updates from SP2.
Thank god for Nlite.
-Maas - dree, on 10/27/2007, -0/+6RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack (http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/updatepack.html) will slipstream all the updates after SP2.
- drjekelmrhyde, on 10/12/2007, -1/+7I seen many articles like this but this is the best yet thanks submitter
- D3koy, on 10/12/2007, -0/+5I've actually done this and let me tell you, the whole process took about 1/2 hour to get ready, and once XP was installed I was ready to go....
Really nice if you are installing XP for a network... - helfire, on 10/12/2007, -1/+6Ya but nLite just replaces the files, no registry entries are added for each update, so if your on a cooperate or school network that uses some auditing software (eg:Clean Access) It wont be able to detect that your up to date and not allow you on the network. So sometimes the manual way is better :)

http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=287829 - dree, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4Yes, with RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/updatepack.html
- theblooms, on 10/12/2007, -0/+4My biggest gripe is the 10 million updates that have come out AFTER SP2. I slipstreamed SP2 ages ago, and it STILL takes quite literally 2 hours of downloads and installations (with a 3 mpbs connection!) to "finish" the Windows set-up. I could not even CONCEIVE of someone trying to do it on an 128k ISDN or God-forbid a dial-up account.
Now if there was an easy way to slip stream all THOSE patches easily, I would celebrate!
Any suggestions? - BuddhaChu, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3Automatically Slipstream Windows XP with SP2 and All Post-SP2 Security Hotfixes with a Single Command
http://smithii.com/slipstream_xpsp2 - ij00mini, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3This site helped me a lot when I slipstreamed SP2 with my XP disc.
http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2_slipstream.asp - Haohmaru, on 10/12/2007, -1/+4Most diggers aren't technical. Most are most savvy or at least casual computer users.
- pmellyn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+3I have done many of these for work and one for my personal workstation at home. I used this site http://unattended.msfn.org/unattended.xp/ It is one of the best I would say because I have looked at many of these guides before and would say it is the easiest to follow. Also the tool nLite for doing this is very nice because it is a step by step wizard where you put in the disc and make the flat file all the way to creating the bootable iso and it has lots of features to remove and add software and tweaks. http://www.nliteos.com/
- thcobbs, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Bah, I just do network based installs. All you have to do is point to the directory and it just updates the install source. Much less painful and allows really fast unattended installs.
- markdr123, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3Sounds handy!
- ZingMan, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2A better guide to integrate softwares into your Windows installation CD
http://www.winmatrix.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=11286 - tange1, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Is it possible to include all critical updates since SP2 somehow?
- omatsei, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3For Vista, I'd recommend using the Business Desktop Deployment kit from Microsoft. It works for XP too, and it's got a hell of a learning curve, but once you understand what it does and how it does it, it's extremely powerful. Updates and Drivers are one thing... BDD will let you slipstream applications on the DVD too.
- speaker219, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2Quick tip:
If you have a fairly new dell machine, you can restore it to exactly the way it was when you got it by pushing Ctrl+F11 when you see the blue "www.dell.com" bar at the top of the screen. The only thing is, you have to get rid of all the dell crap they put on there :( - meshman, on 10/12/2007, -1/+3"Seriously, have you installed XP PRE SP2?"
I did that once accidentally yes, and I agree with your assessment. I therefore downloaded the SP2 version of XP off the newsgroups. - secleinteer, on 10/12/2007, -0/+2What I'd like to know is how to REMOVE software from a slipstreamed CD. My Sony VAIO came with a lot of preinstalled OEM crap that I don't want, and the restore CD has it too. Is it possible to use nLite to remove software as well?
- unrealmp3, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Personally I'd go with RyanVM update pack. He's doing an amazing job at it.
- Terc, on 10/12/2007, -2/+3helfire
@%&* Clean Access. Just find your school's page/js used for OS X or Linux logins, spoof and be done with it. - jonjon737, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've used this process in the past and it worked flawlessly. Props to Microsoft. (and no I'm not a fanboy, I'm writing this on my Imac)
- Terc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Some of us are sick and tired of all the "utube" kiddies and their incessant ignorant comments written in perfect first grade dropout grammar. Sorry that you got mixed up amongst the lot of them.
I sincerely welcome you to Digg. - lonewalker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1the last time i tried with a friend' a xp corporate disk, the slipstreaming sp2 part didn't work. Only works with Retail or OEM install disks. some install disk from dell and hp cant use this method cause they've slipstream their own stuff in there
- tommyboy180, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Its called Nlite people
- Windfish, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1I've used a similar method which slip streamed service pack two into a boot-able installation CD. It's really useful to have one around in case you need to do a reinstall, and I often use mine to repair the boot sector when I've damaged it during risky over clocks. The method I used was the same except it used some commands in the CLI to burn the disk.
- vandalet, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1 whenever i put together a new system, i Ghost the drive to a DVD after i have installed everything i want on there. I use a boot disk with Norton Ghost
- jterhune, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Adding &os=linux to the login URL always allowed me onto CCA without installing any crap. Thankfully my university stopped using CCA, so I don't have to deal with that nonsense anymore. Its a shame if they patched that hole.
- OBKenobi, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If MS would only stop their marketing shenanigans and release SP3 already...
Might want to add those bloody JMicron drivers to it while they're at it! - systemlayers, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1What's been failed to point out is that with autoit you can create silent installs into your xp disc. It's really handy, my xp failed to boot before (due to some overdone tweaking, oh well you learn), but because i had all the software i use integrated i reinstalled xp in 40 minutes and booted it back to something pretty similar to what i had before.
http://www.neowin.net/forum/index.php?showtopic=509728 - xzourska, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1If you thought Ryan's method was too hard then you must not have read it correctly. All you need it is a vanilla XP SP2 CD and then just use his integrator to integrate all of the updates. Just download the update pack from his website or via a torrent (which I am seeding right now). The unattended part wasnt that hard I learned it and did a basic unattended install CD in 2.5 days (learning as I go). I placed all of my apps and drivers and everything else I needed into the CD/DVD so that I can easily reformat my computer.
- camirillobrillo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1use the bdd kit to make an xp wim image and add on after that.
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/desktopdeployment/bdd/2007/default.mspx - BruticusMaximus, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Ouch!! Here's an easier way if you've got WINISO or ULTRAISO or any ISO creating software.
Extract files from service pack.
Create ISO of regular un-service packed XP CD.
Open the XP ISO you just created with WINISO.
Replace the i386 folder in the XP ISO with the i386 folder from the extracted service pack.
Save the new ISO.
Burn the ISO to a CD.
That's it. - Terc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1helfire,
That's interesting... My 3 machines are sitting in a room on a University network _somewhere_ all running on a network "protected" by Clean Access Agent. None have it installed. All have full network access, and have for well over a year. I wouldn't mind if CAA didn't require logins so often (last time I tried it was almost daily, the network was dropping out frequently back then) and what eventually led me to find a way around it was that I wanted to run Windows Server 2k3, (legally, thank you very much). I wasn't allowed access to the network long enough to get updates, so I gave up and decided to find my own way around. I have shared with a few close friends, but won't publicly say just how to get around it until I don't have to deal with the vulnerability getting fixed. I understand why CCA is important on a University network, but I know perfectly well how to keep my computer up to date and secure without being nagged. Personally, I enjoy being able to plug in and be connected without needing extra software or logins.
Have a nice day =) - Terc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1btw, thanks for the kevin.exe info. Hadn't heard of it. Looks like the tcp fingerprinting thing has been fixed in his software http://kevin.sourceforge.net/howto.html Sorry to hijack the thread everyone.
- etempest, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Autopatcher is a POST install - very easy way to update system after a clean install.
Nlite is one of the easiest to integrate so it gets updated as part of the windows install.
I partial to using RyanVM (with and without nlite) - http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/ but you have to integrate SP2 in the cd 1st. - inactive, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1@Terc
That's because my old account "n0yd", randomly got banned. (For what, I have no idea.) - Terc, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Interestingly enough, n0ydz is one of the newer members here. (Nov 2006)
- onineko, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Amen.
msfn.org is the best place to start for 'slipstreaming' updates and drivers. It gives instructions for doing it manually AND with nlite. I refer to it often at work. - TheEndIsNear, on 10/12/2007, -0/+1Use Rock XP. It's something with integrating XP. http://www.snapfiles.com/get/rockxp.html You have to back up the original key from a normal install and then copy that key back into the slipstreamed install.
- Giga, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0"the last time i tried with a friend' a xp corporate disk, the slipstreaming sp2 part didn't work."
Worked with my VLK CD... - colinnwn, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Since lolhax didn't direct it specifically at you, here you go. I've done it and it works a treat.
