Re: [XP PRO] Wanting To "Sliptream" SP2... How? It took 15 hours to download SP2 from my official Microsoft source on dial-up, I slipstreamed it into my XP Pro SP1 CD, and I'm currently on the clean install of XP Pro SP2.
This is running great so far, its much faster than SP1, and they managed to noticeably improve its speed over the last sp2 beta release which is great. My programs have never started so quickly, and my boot time has never been so short on XP!
I'm off to finish installing all my programs like Office, and image my partitions

4 edits | I downloaded SP2 (NETWORK INSTALL) in 12 minutes via DSL....  
NON BETA | FULL RELEASE
Windows XP Service Pack 2 Network Installation: »www.microsoft.com/downloads/deta···ylang=en
So when I slipstream SP2 into my "ORIGINAL" XP PRO disc (no existing service packs)... it will be installed automatically when it's setting up Windows XP Professional through a clean install?
I'm just wondering if theres any additional steps?

1 edit | Check out the above links, they give all the information you need to make a slipstreamed cd, and yes when you do a clean install, it will already be integrated. |

No wonder;
a) you have less clutter on your system (yet), so yes, you system will seem faster and the rest is between your ears
b) debuging code is always removed from a beta before it goes final. Any final of any OS is always faster than the beta
c) Installing fresh means no fragmented drive |

I've found that new OS installs are moderately fragmented. Running a defragmentation utility after installation will prove this...

Don't make judgements when you don't know the full story, your assumptions on your part are mostly incorrect.
A. I've been running a dual boot of SP1, and SP2 for a long time. I've been running the exact same programs SP2 as were ran on SP1. I also used SP2 exclusively for the most part, but still did a couple things on my SP1 install for backup reasons.
C. You are wrong about the fragmentation, and you assumed what I did. I didn't have a freshly formatted drive, all I did was rename the folders that were used by the previous install, and do a clean install on that partition. I'm keeping the files around until I'm sure I don't need them anymore.
