New XP Setup disk using /integration of sp2

[Mrpilot007]

I recently found that you are able to copy your contents of your windows xp install cd to a folder and then download your updates and use the command window to use the /integrate feature. You can then use the microsoft boot image and make your disk again so that you have xp sp2 as an install disk. Is this breaking rules? Has anyone had success doing this? I tried but my burning software is not making the boot image correctly so I just keep burning coasters over and over.

The process is called slipstreaming. Here's some Google results that might get you up to speed.

AutoStreamer is an easy utility to do it, just hard to find for download sometimes.

This program automates the process and creates an ISO. Then you can burn it to CD.

There's nothing wrong with doing it this way. MS even has instructions on their site if you want to root for it.
