Slipstreaming SP3

I made a CD using an original WIN XP Pro CD to which I slipstreamed SP2. For slipstreaming I used a SP2 CD that MS sent me in the mail. This CD was used to load a new hard drive and it worked perfectly. I would like to update that CD so it contains SP3. How do I do it? What do I start with?
Do I start with the original WIN XP Pro CD, download the humongous SP3 image and put that on a CD? Anyone with detailed information? Thanks.

 

Thanks Christer. I seem to have a program on my computer that I used for SP2 called SlipStreamer which I used last time and it is fairly automatic without much thinking. Are you familiar with it?

 

If you download the ISO image, use Winrar (if you don't have it you can get it at oldversion.com) to extract the image to a folder. Within the folder you will find the SP3 self-extracting cabinet file. That is the file that actually installs SP3 and would be used for slipstreaming.

I'm thinking I may try a slipstream tonight, if I get time.

 

Don’t try to create an XP CD on a Vista machine and vice versa!

This definitely works for XP SP3. It then took 26 minutes to do a clean install, including partition deletion and a quick format. Instructions here http://www.howtohaven.com/system/slipstream-xp-service-pack-3.shtml

If you also want Vista, this works but I haven’t tried to instal it, just booted the DVD. SP1 instructions here http://www.labnol.org/software/tuto...1-bootable-windows-vista-dvd-integrated/2750/

 

Hi Christer

Nlite is more complex than just an autostreamer but it will do the job.

Autostreamer http://mhtools.knoware.nl/raptor/autostreamer/AutoStreamer.exe
It is 1 2 3 you are done! What it does it does good.

Asks for source 1. (your windows XP CD), location of Service Pack 2. and were to save the iso file 3..

Mike, In your post do you mean SP3 rather than SP2?
Also, does SP3 update the original WIN XP Pro or Home with both SP! and SP2? Do you need to have updated to SP1 before updating to SP3?

This is the guide for the Slipstreaming program:

Hi Ackerberg

I edited that to clarify it, the 2 is for like step 2 of 1. 2. 3.

It will slipsream SP3 correctly into whatever level CD you have from the original with no service pack or SP1 or SP2.

Mike,
According to Arie, look back up the thread, slipstreaming SP3 onto a version which has SP2 will kill windows update.
Who is one to believe?
Here is my question! I will start with WIN XP Pro, the original disc, no SP1 or SP2. Will slipstreaming that with SP3 include SP1 and SP2?
Please provide a yes or no answer, like you are on the witness stand

Christer--
When I slipstreamed SP2 using that program, the resulting CD would boot. I used it to install WIN XP Pro with SP2 on a new HD.

 

AutoStreamer worked well. I like simple, I just made an XP Pro SP3 iso image. So is there a problem. I used an XP Pro CD with SP2?

 

Nope Ranger SVO you are ready to go!

No sp, sp1 or sp2. All are ok!

BTW another simple program that does what it does so well!

For burning or creating ISO files:

Hi Christer,
I used an autostreamer called... Autostreamer in an earlier SP3 thread. Works fine, and very simple to use. Doesn't stream Vista SP1 or O2K7 SP1 unfortunately.

That is what I said! When you get SP3 you have SP3! Which is an accumulation and update of SP1 and SP2.

I have updated to SP3 on 7 stations and none have effected Win Update! It did reinstall IE7 when I ran winupdate after I installed it on one machine!

There are plenty others on the BBS that have updated to SP3 and none have mentioned issues with winupdate!
