Slipstreaming SP3 from DELL OEM disk

Arnie,

I believe you stated in your article that I can NOT slipstream from a DELL OEM because of automatic updates that DELL adds to the OEM disk. The only disk I have available is the DELL OEM SP 2 disk. Is that always the case or just usually?

Is there any way to remove the DELL add-ons so that the slipstreamed CD is a clean MS version rather than corrupted with DELL add-ons?


Do you have any instructions for slipstreaming from a SP 3 C instead of the downloaded version?


I will need pretty clear and concise instructions as I haven’t tried this kind of thing before.

Thank you.

I have successfully Slipstreamed SP3 into my Dell OEM XP Pro CD. I ran into no problems.

The program I used was AutoStreamer.

 

Thanks Ranger.

Did you use the download or CD version of SP 3?

I downloaded the .iso version of SP3.

I then used MagicISO to load the .iso file. Now the .iso file can also be burned to a CD if you prefer to go that route.

You don't need to go to that extreme. The Download version should work just as well. Just wanna let you know, I used Autostreamer because of it simplicity
