Lrchr Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 It looks like I downloaded and installed hundreds of hotfixes and updates. I installed them without saving first. So how would I find them to slipstream them now. Surely I dont have to scour MS. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

johnhc Posted June 30, 2008 Share Posted June 30, 2008 Lrchr,I think you can get by with just SP3 plus a few fixes. I know of no way to recover installed hotfixes from your system.Enjoy, John. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 (edited) You have several options:VirtualBoxMicrosoft Virtual PC 2007VMware ServerI use VMware Server because it's the only one that can emulate x64 hardware, but I've heard good things about Virtualbox. All of them are free to use. Edited July 3, 2008 by 5eraph Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest Posted July 3, 2008 Share Posted July 3, 2008 You're certainly running XP Pro x86; there is no Service Pack 3 for x64. Although with the 4 GB of physical RAM you apparently have installed you should probably be running x64 to have access to all of it. Anyway, the programs I listed allow you to test the ISOs you'll create within virtual environments. I'm no expert on any one of them in particular. I had to learn on my own, but it wasn't difficult.

Did I say Im inexperienced with PCs?????X86 = 32 BitX64 = 64 BitThat's why you may see some files that say something in the title like x86_32, you know that file is for a 32 bit operating system.The reason he brought up a 64 bit operating sytem is because I think with a 32 bit you can only access a total of... 3GB of RAM? To utilize the full four, and to better utilize multi-core processors, 64 is the way to go. However.... not all programs are written for 64 bit operating systems. It's getting better though.As for upgrading from 32 to 64...... I always have trouble with that topic, upgrading the OS in general actually. So I'm not going to comment on that area since I know very little about it, just enough to squeeze by the certification exam =D I'd recommend checking out the Microsoft website.
