I wanted to create an .iso with little fuss after slipstreaming SP2POEM_EN with w2ksp4_en.exe

I downloaded http://unattended.msfn.org/files/CDImage_Pro.zip and used the CD boot image I'd extracted from my own SP2POEM_EN, adjusting ISO Creator for WinXP Pro.cmd accordingly, it now looks like this:

---

CLS

@echo off

TITLE Creating ISO Image of Windows XP Professional

ECHO.

ECHO Removing any possible attributes set on G:\SP2POEM_EN and its subfolders...

attrib -R -H G:\SP2POEM_EN /S /D

ECHO.

ECHO Creating ISO...

CDIMAGE.EXE -lSP4POEM_EN -t12/31/2002,12:00:00 -h -j1 -m -bMicrosoftCorporation.img G:\SP2POEM_EN G:\SP4POEM_EN.iso

ECHO.

PAUSE

EXIT

An .iso was dumped on my HD and off I went to give it a whirl in Virtual PC, everything seems OK. Is it ok to do this? might the switches in the .cmd file be different for Win2k, or are things the same?

Just curious, because it sure is a handy way of making an .iso, instead of using Nero etc...

Its perfectly OK to do this. For most purposes, the procedures for XP/2k are the same. BTW, I believe I saw a 2Kcreate thread somewhere - you might like to try it.
