Well I got a new ISO made and it works without problems. I took only the files that were listed on Tommy's website and put them in the mix. I wonder about all the optional patches and hot fixes on the Windows Download website. Some of them seem to, per the description, that they expand the functionality of Windows 2000 in small limited ways in a particular area. That is how I needed up with so many originally. One hot fix in particular is the Security update Service Pack one that contains all the security updates to a certain point. It was released a long while after Service Pack 4. I wonder why those are not recommended by the slipstream pros to be used. Thank you for your help. Oh two points of interest while HFSLIP was opening the hot fixes. During the phase I am refering to HFSLIP opens the hot fixes and copies the files. Two Hot fixes when HFSLIP opened them had zero files copied. I thought that rather odd. They were: KB904368 and KB926121. Anyone know if that has any significance?

Thank you again. I'll edit the hot fix files as you specified. LOL I guess I am lucky it works. Perhaps HFSLIP just ignored the ones that were not supposed to be there or I just got lucky.

I will look again and take out the files that are not needed. The ISO that was made is working good and the OS no problems. (So far anyway.)

Tomcat, you had asked which hot fixes were detected by Windows update to be needed after I patched with all the patches you provide links to plus the ones I got off Microsoft? Here they are: KB939653, KB936782, KB938127, KB918439, and KB904706. The funny thing is that two of those files are Internet Explorer files for IE5 that per our discussion are not needed when slipstreaming IE6 into the build. I guess for some reason Windows just has to have them. The others I cannot figure it out as I have them included in the build I did. The only other thing is 3-4 patches for .net packs after they are installed. All in all a very good difference though which makes me happy. I will upgrade to XP Pro sometime soon. Does anyone know if those darn Dell OEM CD's work? I guess if they have the Microsoft COA Hologram I can't go wrong. I would get Vista so I can have DX10 but not sure of the stability of Vista yet. Plus which version to get anyway, since there are so many. I guess if there is a 32 bit gamer version that would be the one to have. 64 bit would be nice but that for now actually runs games worse. Not to mention the driver issue and from what I read the way the 64 bit OS runs the 32 bit applications stinks. (Not a programmer so I can only take their, Review websites, word for it.

I tried to cut and paste list but nlite would not let me. odd. Still Answer this if you know how! -> Also is there anyway to get the Windows XP setup tool / format tool and put it in W2K? That way a quick format can be done at setup in W2K! Really I want to be able to upgrade my W2K Pro until it is XP Pro so I won't have to buy Win XP Pro so I can use SLI or other features on my motherboard! Update: I got the ISO made and burned. DirX9, IE6, WMP9, and a lot of misc hot fixes installed. Installed perfect, Windows update worked perfect, and there were only five updates to down load. (not including .net) My girlfriend doesn't understand but I am happy! Thank You

Thank You to all who answered. Regarding the NEWBIN.TXT file that was created: When using Nlite to integrate the files, I found the "save box". How do I get the file names contained in the NEWBIN.TXT list, into the save box list? (Do I have to type in ever single one by hand?) I assume that I need clean W2K files (right from the cd or a clean copy of them) for the HFSLIP source folder and not files already processed with nlite? Thanks again Side Note: I may be moving to Germany, which is I take it in Tomcats area. (Closer than in USA in any case.)

I deleted my "used" HFSLIP files, started clean from the files that I downloaded from the internet. Have to run it and see. I got rid of the HFCLEANUP folder as from what I read it is a "use at own risk" kind of thing. I have already integrated the .net run times in my current machine (W2KSP4). Is there something wrong with that? (Aside from putting something else in the W2K OS that Microsoft update has to patch.) Should I and how can I integrate .net run time in a build of W2k? DO I need to integrate ALL Windows 2000 Service packs by putting them in the HF folder OR do I just put in SP4? (My w2k build is original with no SP's) Should I integrate W2K sp4supporttools.exe ? Should I do this?-> I am going to use the tool "HFSLIP_POST_getnewfiles_v3.zip" which I assume will increase the chances of this working, when using nlite on the files just processed by HFSLIP. (Do I really need to use this if I am going to use nlite after HFSLIP? ) Thank you, sorry for the Noob questions!

Hey folks. First of all I think HFSLIP is a great tool. Been using nlite, and came across this. I like the idea of integrating the latest windows media player and IE. Along with everything else. I think though that the lack of a single source "How to" guide is really hurting this program and its ability to take the "slipstreaming/integrating" community by storm. Tomcat's website is as close as it gets to a guide, and that is appreciated. To the author or others, put together a all in one manual/guide for HFSLIP please! I am trying to update Windows 2000 original release. I have downloaded all the updates from Tomcats website and all the ones not included on that, from Microsoft. I have gone all the way back until the end date or lock in date (all the updates to that point) of the security roll up for SP4. I have in all around 138 updates, and that does not include service packs. I want to integrate latest IE (6 for w2k) and windows media player(9 for w2k) and all the other hot fixes.. I put everything in the folders as listed on Tomcats download page. (plus the extra hot fixes from Microsoft) I then used HFSLIP, then afterwards I use nlite on those files just processed with HFSLIP to integrate drivers using nlite. I then burn a ISO. Windows starts loading but to date (about 15 tries) It doesn't work and something different happens each time. One time it worked (got windows installed) but all the windows had scripting errors. Now it hangs at the "save setting" (almost a complete install) phase of the windows 2000 setup. I did try the HFSLIP ISO without the nlite added drivers, did the same thing as with drivers added. I have the feeling from trying this many times and from reading various non-complete posts on "how to", that the problem lies in the integration of IE and Windows media player. I am guessing though. I read somewhere that if trying to integrate IE6, don't have IE5 hot fixes in HF folder but I see them on Tomcats page, so I left them in figuring he knows the deal better. I want to integrate all the drivers I need for all my systems. (Intel chipset's and Nvidia chipsets, etc.) Plus later add many of the the driver packs from "Bart the Sneaky" for a all inclusive install on anything build. Question: Is there a complete "how to" guide? If so, where? If not, why not? Why isn't the end product (ISO) more stable? Do I have to integrate all the Service Packs or just SP4? (If you try integrating manually SP4 requires SP3 to be there, SP3 needs SP2 so why the change using the program?) I did create a HFcleanup folder, and put the required file in it to help clean up the build (seemed like a good idea), IS this the problem? Any suggestions on what to look for or how to make a ISO that is 100% guaranteed to work? Thank You
