I need to know one thing about which I m confused with, if I make a Slipstream Windows XP Pro with SP2, CD, then each time I install windows after formatting my c drive , winodws will automatically install SP2 & after that Windows Installation my Windows will be up to SP2 levelwith all the new integrated components like DX 9c & WMP9 etc, it will not install WMP8.
Now, I m confused that can this provide a problem in the future when installing any update like IE Cumulative patches, because I have installed a Slipstreamed Windows installation not the regular way of installaing XP first then SP2
I want to slipstream because I think if I do that then the folder of about 400 MB names servicepackfiles in my C:\Windows folder will not be made as it is made when SP2 in installed seperately but rite now I have done Windows Installation with SP2 integrated, is it true will slipstreaming not make this folder in c:\windows
After slipstreamed install of WIndows XP I will use nlite to remove further components, I don't like to make a XP CD with the components already removed, I like going manual, will this be OK
Plz need help, can't decide what to do, slipstream & save 400 MB space for that servicepackfiles foler or go regular way & spend 400 MB for servicepackfiles, also Windows XP sp2 dose not given an option not to backup the files to remove sp2 in the future so I use the update.exe/n switch
