Yes, Indians are very hard working that's why they can do many things if
given chance. But it's good to know the people around you as well, maybe
anywhere on this planet. Personally speaking, I like the professionalism of
Americans and the way they perform their duty but on the other hand I love
the cordial behaviour and loyalty of Indians and the way they open their
heart to others. You will never be disappointed while going to them for
anything. This is what I call a perfect balance to which I always want to
strike to in my future. Anyways, be my penpal, that's all I wanted to say for
now. My mail id is: nitin20980@xxxxxxxxx

Yeah and thanks to you too for quick responses. I love these technical
forums, these networking forums are some times pretty useful in
resolving
your conflicts and making a network of people around you :)
By the way, something personal, where are you located at? you are
responding
so quickly to my postings. I am geographically located in India.

Nothing. It's working just fine but I wanted to make sure that if in
future
it crashes then atleast I have SP2 ready for it rather than going
again
for
SP1 OEM installation and then upgrading it. I had had problems
upgrading
system to SP2 twice. First time, it worked perfectly but second
time,
it
won't, just crashes. I did second time upgrade as my lappy got
infected
with
spywares and after cleaning, it was not behaving as I expected,
albeit
fully
stable. I am still not able to upgrade it again to SP2 but now my
system
is
working fine(I guess, first time SP2 installation is working fine
with
some
windows updates). That's why, I am not digging into it further, but
as
a
backup option, I did this slipstreaming for future.
Thanks Rock for this new exercise and a concept for me to
understand.

I don't know about the version but it is Windows XP Home edition
CD
which
came with my Compaq laptop having SP1 inbuilt. I will test it to
check
further.
Thanks,

Rock, yesterday I created a slipstreamd CD of SP2 with XP.
Just a
query,
is
slipstreamed CD a bootable one or it is just an upgrade system
type
CD?
Actually I created it using nLite software and there it didn't
say
anything
about the bootable option. It just created it successfully.
Can I
use
this
for a brand new system for installing XP with SP2 by booting
through
it?

Thanks Rock,
I hope slipstreaming SP2 with XP might be the best bet in
such
cases.
Meanwhile, my system is working nearly okay and so I will
be
doing
slipstreaming later. Thanks again for the readings.

Thanks Gal, But I am afraid that didn't help. I have now
stopped
upgrading
my
system to SP2. It seems that these days Microsoft is not
doing
things
seriously as I am also asked to update my system with
IE7
which I
have
heard
is very poor, and not stable at all. That's why I always
skip
windows
update
for this IE7 installation. SP2 again seems to be lying
on
the
same
coin
face.
From my opinion, at least it should either do not start
to
install
or
give
some meaningful message rather than crashing in the
half-way.
This is really painful getting system back on track with
everything
just
ok.
Anyways, thanks again for your input and time.
Meant to include this link as well:

If the slipstreaming was done properly it should be bootable.
It's
a
normal
installation CD. If the slipstream was done with a retail
version
of
XP
then yes it can be installed on another computer as long as it
is
removed
from the first computer. An OEM version cannot be moved to
another
system.
It is tied by the license agreement to the first computer on
which
it's
installed.
Unfortunately that would indicate it's an OEM version. And as I
indicated
in the previous post, per the license agreement, it can't be
transferred
to
another computer. What happened to the Compaq computer it came
with?
My family that lives next door are from India, they have helped me out quite
a bit. Normally go back around Christmas each year but this time couldn't
because of home remodeling. My physical therapists are Indian as well.
The primary one is always talking about how she wants to move back to Delhi.
She misses it. Physical therapists are really torturers by another
name....lol
Anytime.
