I sent this twice yesterday in zip format and it didn't come through either time. Evidently we can no longer use attachments on CTS ??? If you have trouble understanding this there is a doc file and a pdf at TechRepublic that explains it. If you need more help, whistle ! (I like Yankee Doodle Dandy !)

Task Sheet: Create a slipstream CD to integrate SP2 into Windows XP install disk Version 1.0 Mar. 10, 2005 This Task Sheet is based on a tip that was originally published in TechRepublic's Windows XP newsletter. Problem After installing Windows XP Service Pack 2 (SP2), you may wonder what you should do if you later decide to rebuild the system from scratch using a reformat-reinstall operation. It would be a waste of time to have to reinstall XP SP2 again. Solution In order to avoid having to reinstall SP2, you can create a quick Windows XP SP2 slipstream CD using your original XP CD, the network installation version of SP2, and a special command. Here's how: 1. Create two folders in the root directory on your hard disk: one called WXP-SP2 and the other called D-SP2. 2. Use drag-and-drop to copy the entire contents of the original XP CD to the WXP-SP2 folder 3. Download the network installation package of SP2 and copy it to the D-SP2 folder. 4. Rename the WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe file to Wxpsp2.exe. 5. Open a Windows command prompt and at the prompt type CD \D-SP2 and press [Enter]. 6. At the prompt, type Wxpsp2.exe /integrate:C:\WXP-SP2 and press [Enter]. 7. When the extraction and integration operation is complete, you can use drag-and-drop to copy the entire contents of the C:\WXP-SP2 to your CD-RW drive and burn the files to a CD. Note This quick procedure doesn't create a bootable Windows XP SP2 slipstream CD. Creating a bootable CD is a more detailed operation that involves a tool such as IsoBuster and a full-featured CD burning application such as those from Nero or Roxio. In order to use this non-bootable CD, you'll simply need to boot with another disk such as a bootable floppy. If you don't have a boot disk, see bootdisk.com for how to make one.
