Well, I was basically referring to the fact that Microsoft had issued one or
more revisions to the service pack, the last of which I think came out in
late Spring. This caused me to give it a while to see if there were any
other revisions to come. Since there haven't been any I guess I'll go ahead
with it and get rid of those annoying Update notices that show up even though
you've told them not to. Although, as I mentioned, I don't know which
version of the service pack this reinstall CD contains or if it even matters
if the OS is installed at that level to begin with.
It may be next week before I can get this OS straightened out since the
Christmas chores are backlogging on me too. Thanks for all your help. -Dana

.I will definitely take a look at NLite. Is that the one from Softronic? I
spent several weeks trying to get Microsoft Deployment and AIK to work
earlier this year and with much back and forth on this forum but with no
luck. Finally had to move on to other things and haven't revisited that.
Getting something that worked as well as Server 2003's first deployment tool
would be nice.
NLite is a freebie app made by Dino Nuhagic. It's brilliant for
slipstreaming. http://www.nliteos.com
WAIK was replaced by WDT last I checked.

I do have a CD of XP Pro with SP3 to install but wasn't using it as I'd
heard a lot of things over time that it really didn't have that many fixes to
it plus was buggy to boot. I don't know what version the service pack is
that Dell put on its reinstallation CD but I am, right now, downloading the
version that Microsoft has on their download website.
Nonsense, nonsense, nonsense. I don't know who keeps spreading these
fallacies but SP3 has well over 1000+ fixes both those released via
Windows Update and the HUNDREDS only release via hotfix or MS tech
support. In addition, it has new features and a few undocumented ones
as well. The only people that have had issues, in my opinion, are
those with tons of apps crapping up their PCs or corruptions and bad
installs already carried over from years and years abuse to the
system. This is why I usually tell people to install it in Safe Mode.
I've deployed it out to well over 1000 PCs at my site with no issues
and probably over 50 installs to family, friend, and side-job Pcs.
