Deepak, Joe, Jack  and I will discuss slipstreaming Windows XP with SP1.

This is not a how-to article because others have already figured out "how-to." If you follow any decent article step-by-step you can slipstream Windows XP.  The only really tricky part is having your CD burning software set up to properly burn a Windows XP boot CD.

Deepak will discuss some issues regarding the Hardware Abstraction Layer, or HAL and a slipstreamed CD.  This becomes especially important for hard drives of over 131 GB.

Before you slipstream Windows XP make sure that you don't already have a newer CD from Microsoft that already includes SP1.

I used these three links to make a bootable Windows XP CD using Easy CD Creator 5:

• Slipstreaming Windows XP Service Pack 1a and Create Bootable CD - Windows-Help.NET
• Adding Windows XP Hotfixes - Windows-Help.NET
• Creating bootable Windows 2000-XP Disc (Easy CD Creator 5) (Windows 2000-XP) - TACKtech Corp.

These are other useful links:

• WinXP Bootable CD
• IsoBuster, CD and DVD Data Recovery and Rescue tool (DVD Data Recovery)
• XPCREATE The XP Distribution CD Creator with Hotfix Slipstreaming
• Microsoft Windows XP Service Pack 1 Installation and Deployment Guide
• Bart's way to create bootable CD-Roms (for Windows-Dos)
