I do not know if these instructions would work with Windows XP Professional; however, I believe the instructions for XP Profesional would be very similar.  The only difference would be the files to delete.  I was unable to provide instructions for XP Professional as I do not own its Dell Reinstallation CD.

Most of those files do not need to be manually deleted, as they are overwritten by the integration process.

The SVCPACK.INF instructions I believe are for slipstreaming hot fixes.  Not that it wouldn't work with a full blown service pack too, but probably not needed for a full blown service pack integrated installation.

I have the Windows xp Home Etion from Dell Version P/N 6U793 and i can t find the most of this files where i have to delete, is there a way to integrate the sp2 anyway?

Error Message:

This Service Pack cannot be integrated into a destination that also has integrated Software Updates

I have found a way to slipstream my Dell Dimension 8300 with WindowsXP Pro.

I used this article but also deleted SVCPACK.INF and directory SVCPACK.

Service Pack 2 with 1 CD

Before I deleted these two files I was getting the message.

"

I have not tested the restore yet but the CD looks good and it contains the .sp2 file and the files in the i386 look good.

I used the procedure on a standard XP Pro CD and it also worked.

I tried using a free tool AutoStreamer, but it just created an xp p1 image.

I mention this because this is where I found the files to delete.

Aiua I tried to go through the list you had to delete but just didn't have the patients.

I didn't delete the Q######.exe files (hot fixes) from my image but I think it would have been a good idea.

Dave.

Did you ever get the chance to boot to the CD? I did the same thing and managed to make the intergrated CD but get and error while booting to it right before it gets to the windows setup.

I will test it tonight and get back to you.

 

Dave.

Please do. I made about 10 different ones with all sorts of different changes and kept getting the error after it was booted and towards the end of copying the files. Right before you get to the screen that asks if you want to setup XP. It would boot and copy for several minutes then the error. If I remember correctly it was a corrupted USBEHCI or something like that.

Mine is bootable.

I got to the setup screen.

Check to see if the size is 2k for your boot image, and that "No Emulation" is selected.

 

On my home page: http://vbdotnet.home.comcast.net/ I created 2 pages – 1 for creating an SP2 slipstream CD from the Dell Reinstallation CD, and another for SP2 related issues with Symantec products.

In this forum thread: http://notebookforums.com/showthread.php?t=43237 I detail the order of the steps that I took for reloading software after completing the reinstallation of XP SP2.

I'll play with it some more this weekend. I know I set it for no emu but I don't remember about the boot image.

Thanks
