I came across a web site Boot CD that details the procedure for integrating a Windows Service pack into a Windows Network install, this is called a slipstream or slipstreaming. Doing this keeps you from running a service pack install after you did a basic Windows installation.
The site outlines the procedure for W2K but WXP is different in a few details. I did manage to make the install disk after about 5 coasters and it boots and starts to run setup but gives a"Please insert WXP Pro disk into Floppy A:" message shortly after starting the setup file loading.
I belive this error is caused by either to many or not enough of a file on the root of the CD called Win51, Win51ip and Win51ip.sp1 which is created when you slipstream SP1a with the I386 folder on the origional OS disk. The disk will work when run from Windows.
If anyone has sucessfully created one of these disk could you please relay any info on what Win 51 files need to be on the disk
Thanks!
