Hi Don, yes it does, but I had a problem making the slipstream disk. I have an XP Pro SP2 full disk also. But if I use it it wants a new registration KEY and requires a call to MS to explain. If I use my Original Full XP Pro CD that MS gave me it registers without activation problems. That install with all the software I like on a "to give away" system: Avira AV free Open Office free Avant Browser free Mailwarebites free Revo Uninstaller free Acronis True Image 11 (ATI 11) I bought that one<G> with all current updates and scans preformed = 5.8gig I backed it all up with ATI 11 and put it on a $15 8gig USB stick for future reinstalls. With my ATI 11 CD I think I can use the USB copy as a slipstream. I will let you know if I try it and it works correctly.

It takes a lot less than that with a slipstreamed install disk. :-) Don --------------------------------------------------------------- Please remember to trim your replies (including this sentence and everything below it) and adjust the subject line as necessary.
