Hello,
I used Autostreamer to slipstream Windows.
http://www.softpedia.com/get/Tweak/System-Tweak/Autostreamer.shtml
Follow the basic instructions.
Need the Windows product key.

Burning softwear that can burn a .iso file is needed.
I used FinalBurner, free.
http://www.protectedsoft.com/products.php
Any .iso burning softwear works.

Backup files and be sure to have program CD,s.
To insure installing the programs you want to keep.

If doing a clean format and install the Motherboard
Drivers and video, sound and modem drivers are needed.
These should be installed right after Windows SP3 is installed.

Before going on-line install your security, firewall, AV, etc.
SP3 has security updates to download.

Do not activate until Windows is working without problems.
If problems occur Microsoft has a free service for SP3.

22131

SP3 does not include IE 7, WMP 11 or any .net framework, if
wanted, download and install.

Take care.

Beamish.



Thanks. All done, everything back up and running, and no problems. :-) I'll
have to check out slipstreaming, looks like something handy to have around.
Can't keep up with everything that's out there nowadays. :-)
