having trouble with slipstreaming...

[tomdlgns]

i am following the instructions as stated on the MANUAL WAY and I am getting an error

so far i have copied the xp files from the cd like the site says

then i create a directory like the site says

then i get my sp2.exe file in the correct directory. so far im good until this point

c:\xpsp2.exe -s:c:\xpcd\i386

i was under the impression that this is the command i need to input in the run box. the files extract but at the very end i get an error screen. if you are not familiar with the error screen, it tells me i am doing 1 of 2 things wrong, i can get a screen shot.

whoever is knowledgeable enough to help me get past this, must know what screen i am reffering to, but i will post it if needed.

thanks

Tom

Try this instead:

c:\xpsp2.exe /integrate:c:\xpcd

I believe you problem is simply adding I386 to the destination path when you shouldn't.

With so many options available why use the manual option?? There are a at least a dozen free apps to do this for you.

i know, but i started doing it the manual way and it wasnt that hard. i found another website that helped me finish that step..

now im stuck on the virtual PC step. i dled the VM ware client and i followed the directions. i pointed my .iso file in the correct spot as the program instructed, i start the VM and im in the blue setup screen. after a few min. in the blue screen, i get to a page that says cannot find any hard drives.

i dont think this is normal...i followed all the steps that the tutorial stated. any suggestions?

thanks guys
