How to do Sysprep in Windows XP without installation disk?

[sofeazrina]

I don't have the installation disk for Windows XP. What I have read in order to run the Sysprep, I need to copy Deploy cab file from the installation disk. But I don't have the disk and not found the file online. Please help me where can I download the Deploy cab file. Thanks!

Is this a store purchased, pre-built computer (Dell, Acer, HP, etc...) or a home built computer you put together yourself?

If you built it, you should have the XP installation CD. If it's a store purchased computer, it should have either came with it, or given you the option to create it from a hidden partition on your PCs hard drive. If it's a store purchased computer and you do not have a Windows XP installation disk, you can try and contact the computer manufacturer for a copy (usually at a cost).

If it's a computer you purchased yourself, well, I'd probably recommend an OS upgrade.
