Hi, I hope some one can help me here? I have already slipstreamed xp on a dell oem version cd, and now i would like to add my own programs. when i look at the cd image there is already an oem folder for the dell stuff. So my question is can i add to that folder with my programs. My system is a inspiron xps 3.4 extreme 1 gig memory. and the oem cd has programs for my hardware. Another question for anyone whom might know the harddrive has three partions two of them are hidden, dell says not to delete them and i would like to know more on what they are for? thanks for any help.
