Re: Question about Service Packs



It's relatively easy to use since it's setup in a wizard form. You can review a
tutorial covering slipstreaming SP2 into Windows XP by clicking on the Guide
link contained in the same web page that you downloaded the file from. The
general procedure shown would be applicable for slipstreaming Windows 2000 also.

Here's a link to another similar tutorial:
http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/slipstream.htm

Keep in mind that AutoStreamer simply integrates the service pack updates and
creates an ISO file that's an image of the new installation CD. One must still
burn the ISO image to a blank CDR disc in order to complete the process. This
final step can be performed by most 3rd party CD/DVD writing software.

Also note that this ISO file can be mounted in a virtual drive. This is a handy
way to access the CD content as needed. If you are using Nero, it has a virtual
drive option that can mount two ISO images.
