How can I update the I386 folder
on my computer with the SP files?
After installing SP4 (or any other
Windows 2000 or XP SP) on your computer you do NOT have to
re-apply it if you choose to remove and reinstall a system
component.
But whenever you want to install or
reinstall a new system component or you will be prompted for both
the original Windows 2000/XP i386 folder and the current Service
Pack i386 folder, because the operating system "knows" it should be
looking for the required files in both locations. Sometimes this can
be a pain because you don't always remember to keep both folders
accessible on your local computer of network LAN.
That's why you'd want to update the
original i386 files with the latest SP files, thus providing a
unified installation point for all future references.
The process of updating the i386
original folder with the latest SP files is similar to slipstreaming
the latest SP into your installation files. You should follow the
guidelines outlined in steps 5 through 7 in the slipstreaming guide.
You now have an installation point for
all future needs.
