Can you guys please try this with Windows XP Tablet PC Edition 2005 (Tablet with SP2) and Windows XP Media Center Edition 2005?

mony (New user):

I am pretty sure I read a posting in the Microsoft site that said slipsteaming SP3 into Media Center was not supported. Again, I think I recall reading something about Media Center is specific to each vendor.

Well I thought it was informative and cool. I learned a few things too. You can plug your little program without being such a killjoy you sour-puss.

If you create a slipstreamed version of SP3 RTM (5512) on a Vista machine you will receive an invalid key response for your OEM and VLK keys. Microsoft is aware of this too http://forums.microsoft.com/TechNet/ShowPost.aspx?PostID=3261225&SiteID=17

Extract contents command above- D:\XPSP3\windowsxp-kb936929-sp3-x86-enu.exe –x
did not work as described for me with XPpro. This modification worked- D:\XPSP3\windowsxp-kb936929-sp3-x86-enu.exe –x:d:\xpsp3

Nice article James. I had never done this before, and your instructions were clear.
Instead of using Bart’s Boot Image Extractor (BBIE) and Nero Burning ROM, I used a program called ImgBurn which, in addition to being free (as in beer), performs the functions of BBIE and Nero.
Thanks again for a great article.

Created CD OK, and works OK when starting from within XP, but cannot boot from the CD created.
I did the CD burn using Ulead BurnNow 4.5, selecting the Bootable option, but it asked for a different extension for the boot extraction image1.bin. It created the CD, but not bootable :-(

Dooood! After I d/l'd & installed MSIE 7 (no errors) it instructed me to reboot. MSFT reboots everytime ya blink, so I thought nothing of it. Well, two days later, it still can't reboot. I can't find my "Blaster CD" from Toshiba and, except for the now-corrupt installation on the HD, that's all the media I EVER had for XP.

Linux told me to run chkdsk /f. So ... how to do that?

Tada ... your cookbook looks like it should do the job. I have a friend with XP on a desktop. I should be able to get enough code running to fix the filesystem. This is the second time a MSFT product screwed things up (first ActiveSync, now this). I think MSFT just made the compelling argument for Linux. I'll figure out something for the balance of the life of my PDA ... my next one will simply have to be supported by Linux utilities or it won't get bought. I'm tired of this (gooey substance).

Excellent! I saw something like that, but not so good exposed.
Easy and functional

Does the slipstream process described also apply to integrating Vista with Vista SP1 or does this require a different approach?

Spin (New user):

Does this slipstream process only work for XP or could i follow the same steps and slipstream Vista SP1 into Vista?

g8m (New user):

Tnx. Instruction were to the point. I have an issue with space. The Xpsp2cd folder is now 980 MB and will not fit on a cd. Anybod encouter this problem.

Hi I tried to slipstream XPSP1 with SP3, but failed. It was only when I removed a file from the svpack.inf from XPSP1's i386 folder and put it in the SP3's i386 folder that it finally completed the slipstream successfully. Am I doing the right thing?

Thanks

Peter

Belvy (New user):

Hi
I tried to slipstream sp3 on to xpsp1 based on the given instructions failed. The error message was that here was already an service pack on xpsp1. However, when I removed the file "svcpack.inf" from xpsp1's i386 subfolder and planted it to the i386 subfolder of extracted sp3 package, slipstreaming was successfully completed. I wonder if I did the right thing.

Thanks

Belvy

While I have a valid product key, the install won't accept it. Did I miss something?

D:\XPSP3\windowsxp-kb936929-sp3-x86-enu.exe –x
Running this command does NOT bring up the extraction dialogue box.I can't locate the extracted files.

What to do?

Softslas (New user):

@Djwoody
Try to write the command without .exe
i.e
D:\XPSP3\Windowsxp-kb936929-SP3-x86-ENU –x
But WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU is a .exe file so it does not require to be extracted.
