The easy way - by using an ISO file
To do so you'll need a good CD-burning
software that will also be able to read and write ISO files. One of
my favorites is
WinISO (currently v5.3) but you can use any other software is
you want.
WinISO is a CD-ROM image file utility
that can convert BIN to ISO, extract/edit/create ISO files directly,
make bootable CDs and as a BIN/ISO converter/extractor/editor. It
can process almost all CD-ROM image file(s) including ISO and BIN.
With WinISO, you can add/delete/rename/extract file(s) within image
files. You can convert image files to the standard ISO format and
you have the ability to create ISO image file(s) from a CD-ROM.
I'll explain the needed steps using
WinISO screenshots and commands.
Step one: Slipstream the SP into i386
Follow the steps described in the
slipstreaming guide section at the top of the page. It does not
matter what SP you're using. This process will work for Windows
2000/XP/2003.
Step two: Create an ISO image of the
standard W2K/XP CD
-
Insert the original Windows
2000/XP CD into the tray.
You can use this process for any
version of Windows 2000 (Professional, Server or Advanced
Server), but you'll need to create 3 separate images if you want
to have all 3 versions of Windows 2000. Same goes for future SP
for Windows Server 2003.
-
Run WinISO. Click Actions > Make
ISO from CD-ROM.
-
Browse to select the folder where
you want the ISO file to be created. Give it a name. Also choose
the correct CD drive letter if you have more than one CD drive.
-
Let it run till the progress bar
finishes.
Step three: Replace the old i386 with
the new one
-
In WinISO click the Open button
and browse to the ISO file you've just created.
-
Delete the i386 from within the
ISO image by selecting the i386 folder and pressing Delete.
-
Also
delete the Valueadd, Support, Docs and Cmpnents folders.
-
Click Actions > Add Directory and
browse to the location of the slipstreamed i386 folder from step
one.
-
Also add
the Valueadd, Support, Docs and Cmpnents folders.
-
Choose Add Files and add the files
found in the rood folder where you've slipstreamed i386.
-
The final picture should look like
this:
-
Click Save and you're done.
Step four: Burn the ISO on a CD
