Slipstreaming ISO Image

[Dutch]

Hello,

I have an ISO bootable disk burned with XP Home w/SP2. Unfortunaly I no longer have the original XP disk.

I would now like to slipstream SP3 and SATA drivers into the ISO disk with a program like nLite.

Question: can this be done having only a bootable ISO disk of XP Home and if so, how would I go about this?

Thanks in advance

Actually, in order to slipstream SP3 you need an already slipstreamed to SP1a or SP2 iso, so you have the "right" thing.

I would personally slipstream the SP3 "normally" without using nlite, and then use nlite or whatever on the resulting .iso. (this way you have a "kosher" SP3 .iso without modifications, that may come useful in the future).

Those service pack pre-requisites are for a running system. You can slipstream SP3 all the way back to an SP0 ISO.

I've tested what nLite does when slipstreaming a service pack. It just sends it the SP???.exe /integrate:<source> switch. No other modifications are done.

@Dutch, once you slipstream SP3, whether manually or with nLite, save that as your "virgin" source so you don't have to keep slipstreaming the service pack any time you want to fiddle with nLite.

Thank you -X- for your response. Tried to reply before, but some how it failed.

In the meantime I was able to integrate SP3 and Post SP3 update pack from RyanVM site...I think it went OK.

My next attempt is to integrate drivers to get around the "press F6 key" issue during OS installation. In regards to this issue I've create a new post "Integrate Drivers" on 2/15/10. I've fiddled around with nLite but don't seem to be making much headway with integrating the appropriate drivers. I can grasp concepts, but fall short in the technical/experience area.....but trying my darndest to learn from this exercise.

If you don't mind, please take a look at this other post and hopefully you can point my nose in the right direction.

Your assistance will be greatly appreciated.

Thanks, Dutch
