Slipstreaming w/Autostreamer SP2

[Ken A]

I have used Autostreamer to TRY to slipstream XP Pro retail. All goes well
until it tries to save the .iso file. It does look like it is saving it.
No matter what folder I try and save to the folder ends up empty. Nothing
saved there. I have attempted to do this, with no luck, many times. I have
even used Search to look for any .iso files. I do locate a shortcut to the
folder I attempted to save to but if tells me the path is wrong. I have
read in this group how OP have succeeded in this. I am doing something
wrong, but what. I have read the docs and followed them. I would
appreciate anyone's help.

Thanks for any help,

Ken A.

Are you running it on and saving it to a winXP (or win2000) HDD folder with
plenty of free space ? Wont work on 98 or udder op sys.
You need lots of free space as it might unload winxp CD to your hdd along
with that 300mb sp2 before it mingles both into the save folder before it
cleans up and maybe defrag'd free space too for the image to save a
contiguous file.

Thank you Jerry,

Excuse the "Shouting" IT WORKED"!! I followed your link and found a link
for AutoStreamer (unzipped) and the dl'd it and installed it. It worked
like a charm!!! The original download was from "Geeks" which was zipped,
and it must have be bad or not complete.

Thanks again for your help.

Now have XP Pro slip streamed.

John Barnett,
Your site gives very full and complete instructions, which I had already
printed out. I think that I had a bad version of Slipstream. I want to all
that responded to my post and thank you all. The problem is now resolved.
