cruelpupet Posted November 3, 2002 Posted November 3, 2002 I just read the article on creating a Slipstreamed WinXP CD with SP1. Just had a few questions about it.Can you also slipstream IE 6 and all of the other Windows updates?Can you customize the Windows Install??? (ie. I have a list of registry changes and tweaks I do to my XP installs, can I incorporate those in any way to the default XP installation so I dont have to do them each time)

Lezend Posted November 4, 2002 Posted November 4, 2002 Wait a minute, isn't IE6 included with SP1? Why do you need to slipstream it in?
Guest Posted November 4, 2002 Posted November 4, 2002 I want to know, is there a way to slipstream fonts, and programs, so when you get into XP after reinstalling it, you have photoshop 7 in there?How?Is there a program?
cruelpupet Posted November 4, 2002 Author Posted November 4, 2002 Wait a minute, isn't IE6 included with SP1? Why do you need to slipstream it in?ok....other updates since thenIm actually more concerned with the customizations i like to do...reg tweaks and such

You can access the [GUIRUNONCE] interface that build in the unattend install. It will install other application you specify.Edit Note:Windows Xp it called Distribution Folder.Distribution Folder - The distribution folder option gives you the flexibility to add other files as well, such as drivers not found on the Windows XP CD.

Then, create a HD images on a bootable CD. You can use that to backup to the states of HD anytime you want. The only problem is you can only use it on your computer because of hardwares conflict. But, this is a way to use on just for you.Some softwares that can do it are:PowerQuest DeployCenter™ 5.0DriveImagesNTbackupIt writes a complete Image of HD onto multiCDs. You can use it as backup and its bootable.

Lezend Posted November 4, 2002 Posted November 4, 2002 Well, you can do an unattend file and with all your preset and even .reg modify that is activate by .bat
Guest Posted November 4, 2002 Posted November 4, 2002 I want a program that will have Photoshop 7, Yahoo! Messenger, AIM, etc. installed when I format, and have fonts and crap.
