ProblemSolutionAdditional resourcesVersion historyTell us what you thinkTask Sheet: Create a slipstream CD to integrate SP2 into Windows XP install disk Version 1.0 Mar. 10, 2005 This Task Sheet is based on a tip that was originally published in TechRepublic's Windows XP newsletter. Problem After installing Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), you may wonder what you should do if you later decide to rebuild the system from scratch using a reformat-reinstall operation. It would be a waste of time to have to reinstall XP SP2 again. Solution In order to avoid having to reinstall SP2, you can create a quick Windows XP SP2 slipstream CD using your original XP CD, the network installation version of SP2, and a special command. Here's how: 1. Create two folders in the root directory on your hard disk: one called WXP-SP2 and the other called D-SP2. 2. Use drag-and-drop to copy the entire contents of the original XP CD to the WXP-SP2 folder 3. Download the network installation package of SP2 and copy it to the D-SP2 folder. 4. Rename the WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe file to Wxpsp2.exe. 5. Open a Windows command prompt and at the prompt type CD \D-SP2 and press [Enter]. 6. At the prompt, type Wxpsp2.exe /integrate:C:\WXP-SP2 and press [Enter]. 7. When the extraction and integration operation is complete, you can use drag-and-drop to copy the entire contents of the C:\WXP-SP2 to your CD-RW drive and burn the files to a CD. Note This quick procedure doesn't create a bootable Windows XP SP2 slipstream CD. Creating a bootable CD is a more detailed operation that involves a tool such as IsoBuster and a full-featured CD burning application such as those from Nero or Roxio. In order to use this non-bootable CD, you'll simply need to boot with another disk such as a bootable floppy. If you don't have a boot disk, see bootdisk.com for how to make one.
