i can't Slipstreame sp2 to my DELL OEM XP cd !

i tested both winxp pro (not with sp1) and winxp pro (with sp1), it always displays a message window: "can't integrate sp2 to target folder ! it is already with servise pack.

OEM cd can't be Slipstreamed ? why ?

dell xp cds are configured differently.

Check to see if they have any hotfixes on the cd. If they do, you need to take them out before doing the upgrade.

Look for a svcpack or hotfixes folder in the i386 folder. Just delete it. Should fix the problem.

I did this a while ago with a Dell OEM CD. Like sleepnmojo said, delete the hotfixes. There will also be a bunch of files in the I386 folder that need to be deleted - they all begin with either KB###### or Q###### (# indicating the wildcard is a number). You also have to clean up svcpack.inf to remove references to the hotfixes, and then makecab the cleaned svcpack.inf back to svcpack.in_. From my experience, SP2 won't update the files if svcpack.inf is expanded, but once it's cabbed, it will. There may also be some stuff in the $OEM$ file that needs cleaned.

I THINK this is what I did, I'm at work now and can't remember exactly...I can look when I get home.

my method:

1.copy all of the retail winxp cd (not with any sp) to D:\XPCD folder;

2.normal integrate sp2 to D:\XPCD folder;

3.copy these files from DELL OEM CD to D:\XPCD\I386:

OEMBIOS.SI_

OEMBIOS.CA_

OEMBIOS.DA_

OEMBIOS.BI_

SETUPP.INI

WINNT.SIF

4.burn D:\XPCD to bootable cd;

that's all . in installation , no sn needed and after install is over . your xp is no active needed.
