Hey everyone, I've been reading up/searching on various XP SP2 slipstream guides both here and on Paul Thurott's WinSuperSite. Everything seems to be going well right up until when I am copying all of my files from an XP folder to my CD burning application. I am using Easy CD Creator 5, and when I copy the files over for creating the bootable CD, I am being forced to rename the $OEM$ folder to _OEM_. Some of the files contained in the $OEM$ folder that start with ! are also supposed to be renamed. Do I really need my $OEM$ folder in order to create a successful boot disk? If I do, is there a work around to have Easy CD Creator recognize the $OEM$ name. Thanks! Kirupa =)
