Slipstreaming XP disk

[chris1990]

My pc broke recently, so i'll have to install xp again, then update it about a million times, then install all my software again.

I have slipstreamed my XP disk with SP3 + IE7 + WMP11, and added tons of drivers from driverpacks.net. It's now gone over a cd to dvd.

Now i'm wondering if i can slipstream other programs onto the disk so they'll be installed automaticly, like antivirus and firewall. It would be the ultimate time-saver and cd, especially useful with windows half life.

Thanks in advance, Chris.


Here is the link for driverpacks.net, i included it because its a great idea and maybe useful

Use nlite and use a DVD instead of CD...

ye, i am using a dvd and nlite. I don't think nlite can do the things i want.

I want to know if its possible to have the xp setup install my antivirus, firewall, and others like flash, java, adobe reader, shockwave. So i wont have to do it myself afterwards.

Not sure if the XP setup can do that but you can write a batch file which will install all files with a single mouse click?

you have to have programs with the "unattended install" option unless you like clicking "i agree" about 100 times. Or you can create your own program that launches them one at a time and clicks the buttons for you.

You should look into whether or not FOR SURE nlite can't do this. I've never used it but i have used an install disk made by it and it had other stuff installed.
