[gtpek]

My friend sended me a link to combine XP SP2 into the same CD, and now XP Pro installation is working really well.

Good for administrator.

I'd also suggest following some guides at msfn.org on how to add custom applications and drivers to your win xp cd. I've made a win xp dvd that contains quite a lot of apps i use.

Doesn't XP come with SP2 now out of the box? (Becuase my installation did. ;))

Hmmmm so was this originally XP with SP2 or did your friend slipstream the cd and combining SP2 with XP

mine is different from mck, of course, i have 2 cds in my windows xp pro package-xp cd1 and xp cd2 with sp2, during the installation, i have to insert cd1, then take out cd1 and insert cd2 to install the rest of windows xp pro and sp2.
yes, i tried burning a copy of windows xp (full version) in one disk, and it works. According to the information & directions from gepek's link.
thx! now i dont have to switch around disks during my xp installation! :P

Critical Impact also suggested looking at msfn.org Great site for resources on how to slipstream different apps, ect onto a Windows XP SP2 DVD or CD, ( DVD just means more goodies ) :)

Is it legal to copy SP1 and SP2 along with original XP CD or a copy CD? This breaks the law unless it is a corporate edition, no?

Microsoft is doing it. I bought a toshiba laptop. Came with XP pro and SP2. :) So that meant that Microsoft is doing it. So I can tell you it's legal

Hey Vineeth:

It is defenitely legit. it is a processed called slipstreaming. Where you can take an XP Image (ISO) and slipstream service packs and hotfixes into it. a bit of a pain, but if you are doing a lot of systems, much easier process then upgrading them all 1 at a time.
