1. Does one have to slipstream SP1 before slipstreaming SP2? (maybe a
dumb
question)?

I asked that on this NG a while back and the MVP's said no you
don't... any prior version of XP can be slipstreamed up to SP2.

2. Does autoslipstreamer actually burn the CDRom?

No, it just creates the image that you will later burn to a disk with
your own burning software.

I have a CD R/W drive and software.
However, the software is not capable of burning this kind of disk. So,
what
I am missing is the way to do the burning. Will this do the trick?

According to the slipstream manual, you will need Nero Burning ROM or
Easy CD Creator. Nero has a trial version you can download. I have
seen some real strange burning software packages that come with a lot
of new OEM computers that really don't have or give a lot of needed
options to do proper CD/DVD burning. If you don't have either Nero or
Roxio, I would suggest getting one or the other. My personal choice
is Nero 6 Ultra Edition v6.6.0.8

Anyway...

You will now need to burn the CD Image file onto a blank CD. For this
purpose, a CD recorder along with CD burning software (for example
Ahead Nero Burning ROM, Roxio Easy CD Creator etc) will be needed. You
can complete the burning procedure on any system with a CD Recorder
(Any operating system; not just Windows 2000/XP/2003). Depending on
your CD burning software, you will need to use the option to burn an
Image on the CD. For example, in Nero Burning ROM 6.x, the "Recorder
- Burn CD Image" is the one in question. Consult your software's
manual for additional help. Also, depending on your CD burning
software the following options may or may not be the default ones. In
such case, adjust them to:
Type of Image Data Mode 1
Block size (Bytes) 2048
Image header (Bytes) 0
Image trailer (Bytes) 0
Make sure Write, Finalize CD, and Disc-At-Once are checked, then
choose Write (again, depends on software).


Hope this helps,
Dave

I have looked at several sites telling how to do a Slipstream of XP and
SP2 and followed the early steps. But they all seem to do it with Roxio 6
or Nero Burning Rom 6. I have both Nero Express 6 and Roxio Easy CD
Creator 7. Does anyone have a method for (or a site for) doing it with one
of these pieces of software?
Thanks.

Go to www.autopatcher.com and get their program AutoStreamer - it will
make it a bit easier.



Bob:
Jerry's advice is sound. AutoStreamer is a wonderful and simple program for
slipstreaming. After you create the .iso file using AutoStreamer...
Start Roxio Easy Media Creator and open Creator Classic.

In the “Other Tasks” section, click on “Burn From Disk Image File”.

Navigate to the location of the slipstreamed .iso file you created with
AutoStreamer and click Open.

Roxio’s “Burn Progress” window will open. Click “Burn”.

I'm assuming the basic steps above can also be used with Roxio's Easy CD
Creator, but I don't have that program handy at the moment to test it.

Anna, you have left out some very important burn settings to get a
bootable CD. Slipstreaming info:

John:
No, John. To the best of my knowledge the information I furnished was
accurate insofar as using Roxio's product (indicated above) to burn a
bootable slipstreamed XP/SP2 CD following the AutoStreamer creation of the
..iso file. If I omitted any pertinent info or misstated such, please
specifically indicate what I "left out", rather than merely listing a group
of websites.
