Create a Bootable Windows XP CD That Includes Service Pack 2

  • Artikel

I had planned to post my own article about slipstreaming the recently released Service Pack 2 with your original Windows XP CD media, but it looks like Tom's Hardware beat me to it. By following the instructions in the article, you can create a single bootable CD that installs Windows XP along with Service Pack 2. If you're like me and you like to refresh and reinstall your system every six months or so, having a CD like this is very handy. Here's another article with similar instructions. And no, you're not experiencing déjà vu...I've posted on this topic before.

    "If you're like me and you like to refresh and reinstall your system every six months or so, having a CD like this is very handy."

    I prefer to make a Ghost copy of my hard disk and restore everything within few minutes.

    Never waste time to install Windows, SP, & all other default softwares, do you?

    Can you do the same for all the Windows Updates too?

    If you're an MSDN subscriber, you can just get Windows XP with SP2 already included as an ISO...

    Developer...I've tried Ghost in the past, and I like it for frequent rebuilds. But, by the time I revisit my machine in six months, enough has changed that I like to start fresh.

    Sushant...unfortunately, I don't know the answer to your question. I'll see if I can find out.

    Matt...good point. I hadn't noticed that the ISO was available for MSDN Subscribers.

    He has everything that you need (ISO creator, cd recorder, ect) and all you have to do is follow the very simple instructions.

    The BartPE app at nu2.nu rocks. I used it over the weekend to get rid of some spyware off a friend's computer.

    Ok, my PC came with Windows on it, but no original Windows CDs.  So how can I create a bootable WIndows CD now?

    Why are the original Windows installation CD's required for it to work?  I mean, if I have a Windows XP SP2 fully updated, couldn't it just take the files from that installation directly?
