Slipstreaming SP1 Question.

[Guest]

Archived from groups: alt.comp.hardware.homebuilt (More info?)

Hi, I know I should wait for SP2 to come out but a friend asked me slipstream
the SP1 with his copy of Win XP Pro.

When I execute the following - 'xpsp1.exe -x" normally it should check it's
integrity and then ask me where I want to extract it. BUT it just checks the
integrity and extracts it automatically to 'c'.

Naturally I want to extract it to the folder I need to. But cannot do it as it
extracts it each time to c. Please let me know what to do. Thanks.

Go here if you're using Easy CD Creator

http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?id=157&object=article.cfm

and choose your version at the top of the page.

Or go here if you're using Nero:

http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=160

Again, choose your version at the top of the page.

These are the best guides I've found.

Good luck!

a bunch of electrons for some unknown reason:

An automated way is to use XPCREATE from

Thanks guys for the help. It's a more easy way to make a slipstream XP CD.

Cheers.
