View Full Version : XP SP2 - create a disk?

Somewhere recently I saw a tip about how to create a Windows XP SP2 disk
once SP2 is installed on a PC - I think it was in PC World, but now I can't
find it and would really like to know how to do that - I'm having stability
problems on one of my PCs and can foresee doing a fresh install. The
thought of all those updates to apply after installing a fresh XP with no
service packs makes me shudder... Any help gratefully received and
acknowledged.

TIA,

Dan

Hi Dan, here are some slipstreaming links - Autostreamer is simple and easy but you
may require something more complex

You'll need the SP2 Update and your original WinXP CD
