massedgadget Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I am running XP Home SP2 on an AMD system and trying to create an SP3 slipstreamed install disc.When SP3 was released there was quite a big problem with the Windows Update or normal download. When installing on an AMD system and rebooting it would hang/fail. Apparently there was a amd processor dll missing from these updates. The solution was to download the Windows XP Service Pack 3 - ISO-9660 CD Image File (http://www.microsoft.com/DownLoads/details.aspx?familyid=2FCDE6CE-B5FB-4488-8C50-FE22559D164E&displaylang=en) which is 544.9MB. And this worked fine for my current system.Now I want to format and re-install Win XP Home.How can I use this SP3 ISO (i.e. it is not an .exe that nlite is expecting) with nlite to create a slipstreamed ISO?Or is this SP3 ISO a full install disc anyway?cheers Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rabiddog Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 (edited) yip just dragWINDOWSXP-KB936929-SP3-X86-ENU.EXEonto desktop or where ever u wantits on iso and slipstream that Edited September 16, 2008 by rabiddog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
massedgadget Posted September 16, 2008 Author Share Posted September 16, 2008 Unfortunately that file name is not what I get to download. What I get is xpsp3_5512.080413-2113_usa_x86fre_spcd.isoNot WINDOWSXP-KB936929-SP3-X86-ENU.EXEObviously (?) I can't just change the extension from .iso to .exe :-(And nlite is looking for only a .exeSo just dragging this to my desktop or any other directory will not enable me to identify it and slipstream it.As far as I am aware I need this iso version so that I get the necessary amd dll (see http://www.channelregister.co.uk/2008/05/1...ft_blames_oems/ for reason why) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
XIII Posted September 16, 2008 Share Posted September 16, 2008 I think you should first burn the ISO image to a disc (image burn, not file burn!), or use a tool like the Daemon Tools to virtually mount the CD.Then you can copy files from it. Or use a program like ARJ to extract files from the ISO image directly. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
