"Slip disk"? Are you asking about slipstreaming?

The word "slipstreaming" was originally used to refer to the
practice of many software manufacturers of including updates to
their product on the distribution CD without any real
announcement of what they were doing or differentiation of the
various kind of CDs. It was always a disparaging term because it
was poor practice. It was used as a way for the manufacturer not
to have to print a different box, manual, etc. for the updated
version, and to sell older stock that didn't appear to be
outdated, but actually was. That saved them money, but it left
the customer unable to tell whether he was buying the new version
or the old.

Somewhere along the line, people started creating their own
updated versions of some software, by merging the update files
with the original CD. Someone got the bright idea to call it by
the same name "slipstreaming," without realizing that the name
was originally used in a disparaging way.

The term stuck. I dislike the use of the word this way, but the
original meaning has been lost, so I long ago gave up trying to
fight it. Since everybody now uses it simply to mean a version
with the upgrade incorporated in it, I reluctantly go along.

So these days a slipstreamed copy of XP simply means an
installation CD that you've made yourself that incorporates an
upgrade, such as SP2.

At any rate, if that's what you want to do, read here:
