Thought i'd post these sites and some information for the general use of those that are wondering or need such information.
a few sites which describe methods for slipstreaming SP 1 into your present XP cd's:
hxxp://www.justinwojas.com/bootcd.htm
This one is very nice and well layed out with information on making bootable cd's as well. It deals specifically with the XP SP1.
The next one:
hxxp://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/sp1_slipstream.asp
this one is for windows 2000 but the same instructions work for winXP
The next one:
hxxp://www.microsoft.com/windows2000/downloads/servicepacks/sp3/spdeploy.htm#the_integrated_installation_fmay
this one from MS also describes the process, but in typical MS language so it may confuse some newer people.
and some instructions for doing the slipstream:
1. From the gold release of XP (2600), copy the I386 folder to the root of a
hard drive (let's call it D).
2. Expand the SP1 package with WinZip or similar into a folder called SP1 on
the same drive.
3. Open a command prompt and change to drive D, then change dirs to SP1.
Inside there'll be a folder called UPDATE.
4. Change dirs to UPDATE and then type this command:
update -s:d:\
You'll see a dialog box appear showing the progress of updates to the
D:\I386 folder, and a notice upon successful completion.
Use this updated D:\I386 folder to install XP SP1.
and a couple of methods to expand the SP from a friend:
"Just run xpsp1.exe -s:d:\ and it will do the same thing. Although, it does expand the package to some random-named folder on the root of whatever drive the package originally resided. That random folder has to be manually deleted, too."
and another method to expand the SP:
You can run xpsp1.exe -x and it'll ask for the location to extract the
files.
