XP SP2 RC2 pro CORP SLIPSTREAM

[dieverse]

I recently obtained a copy of XP SP2 RC2 pro CORP SLIPSTREAM. I am planing on testing sp2 and win xp corp out. I currently have xp home edition. The question I have about my copy is that I am not sure what parts of the tutorial I must apply to my copy in order to get an unatended install going. First of all i think it may already be slipstreamed and it may include sp2. I already ran a test install and the install shows up as sp2. Here are my questions:

1) Do i have to slipstream this? or does it sound like its already done?

2) Is there a way to have it read the answer file from the network? or from a seperate partition?that way i dont have to make an entire new image with just that one file included..

I'll ask more when i get these basic questions answered.

Thanks,

DV

u should prolly not use RC2 and instead download the Final release.

why don't you start from scratch... then you will know exactly what you got and what you will need. it will only take about 2 hours at most.

So how do i start from scratch? I would need an riginal windows xp copy and then sp1 AND sp2? or just sp2.

Sorry for the newbie questions... this is my first time doing this. I just need a basic outline of the steps i should take. After i know what i should do i can read up on it.

Thanks,

Original and sp2 as this has all the sp1 patches included too

Get an original copy of Windows XP (home, pro, or corp). Then slipstream SP2 onto your original WXP CD (without SP1). You won't need SP1 anymore.
