    Hello,
    Am trying to slipstream XP Pro, and my new copy of Windows XP SP2 CD- ROM.
    Got my copy of XP Pro into a file C:\xp no problem. Trying to copy SP2 to a file C:\sp2. After about half the file copys, I get this Error Message "Canot copy XPSP2: Data error (cyclic redundancy check ). Tried 3 times, same Error.Any help appreciated.

    Take a look at This article explaining basically what is causing the error you are seeing.

    Downloaded and installed CDChecker. Ran it on my copy of Windows XP Service Pack 2, showed 482 errors. Cannot recover. I allready installed this update on my computer before I tried to slipstream it. . So far, everything seems to be working allright. Did I get a bad copy from MS , or is this the norm? I am on dialup, that is why I ordered the CD. Is there any way I can slipstream this?

    Yes. On the CD the file is called XPSP2.EXE. You can use these instructions, just replace the name of the SP2 file...

    Cannot copy file XPSP2.EXE to C:\XPSP2. Keep getting this Error Message "Canot copy XPSP2: Data error (cyclic redundancy check ). Is there any way around this?

    Well, if you read the article Newt suggested, you'll have some ideas where to start looking... I have no idea why you are getting this, so the answer is probably no, there's no way "around" it...

    Try cleaning the CD, or the CD-ROM drive...

    Are there scratches on the CD?

    It's the only other thing I can think of. Try finding another CD, SP2 is available from several places on CD.
