Windows 2000/XP SP Slipstreaming
How can I slipstream service packs
into the Windows 2000 or the Windows XP media?
This scenario explains how to create
an integrated installation of Windows 2000 or Windows XP and the
corresponding service pack in a shared distribution folder on a
network. This integration is called "Slipstreaming".
The integrated process installs the
service pack during Windows 2000/XP Setup, so when the setup process
is done, you'll have the OS + SP in one operation.
Lamer Note: This
explanation is based upon usage of Windows 2000 and SP4, but will
also work for any SP and either Windows 2000 or Windows XP (of
course you must use the correct SP... don't try to install SP1 or
SP2 for Windows XP on a Windows 2000 installation... Duh...)
Important: Do not update
Windows 2000 integrated with a service pack in a shared distribution
folder if there are users who are still using a previously installed
integrated version in the same shared folder.
