An important note is these days the DriverPacks are only distributed as torrents so you will need either a torrent client or use something like Bitlet which allows you download torrents through your web browser. Packs are always well seeded and should download quickly. If you want to reduce space and only include one set of drivers for your own PC for instance, download the Graphics pack which contains the required drivers.
A similar thing applies to Sound packs. Do not unpack them as they are 7z archives. It will then identify the operating system inside the folder. Click Overview to review your settings or simply click the Slipstream!
Run the executable inside the archive and go to the Make ISO tab, click the button to browse to the location which holds the XP folder from step 1, then click the button to give a filename and folder for the new ISO file. Click Make. Before you reach the blue XP setup interface, the Driverpacks will begin extracting themselves to the hard drive ready for installation later in the process. If all goes well your Windows XP will be installed and all the important drivers will already be installed meaning you can get on and do other things without the hassle of searching for and installing compatible drivers.
Note: There are many other extras you can add into an XP installation disc with slipstreaming tools such as nLite , things like individual drivers, service packs and hotfixes etc. If you are doing this as well you need to make sure the Driverpacks are added last, so use nLite or RVM Integrator first, then use the Driverpacks in this guide after.
Why thanks a lot for the tip. Thanxs a lot. This helps a lot. When this appears, you will have only a few seconds to press any key on the keyboard.
I usually choose the Space-bar because it is the easiest to find and press. After you have chosen to boot from the CD, you will have to wait a few minutes. The disk will check your hard drive to see if windows XP is currently installed on it.
After the disk has made its check you should see a screen like the one in the first picture on this page. You will want to press Enter because you are planning on installing Windows XP on your system. If you realize that you have data on your hard drive and need to back it up, now would be the time to press F3 and exit the installation program to back it up. On this page, you can take the time to read through the agreement, but it is just saying that you will not be breaking any laws using this product.
I personally just hit F8 to agree and move on to the next step in the installation. After pressing F8, you will come to the beginning of the Windows XP setup. On this page, you will want to press the Esc key on the keyboard. This will tell the program not to try and repair the current installation. The next step in installing Windows XP is to delet the old partition on your hard drive. You will see a screen similar to the one in the first picture of this page.
You will want to scroll over the C: partition that is current on your hard drive. The next thing you will need to do is click the D key. This will tell the program that you want to Delete the current partition. After you click the D key, you will see a screen like the one in the second picture. On this screen you will want to press the L key to confirm the deletion of the partition of the hard drive.
Now that you have deleted the old partition, you will need to be sure that partition is selected and press the Enter key. This will tell the program that you want to install Windows XP on that partition. In this step, you will want to choose whether you want to have system do a quick installation or a standard installation. For the purposes of this set of instructions, I have chosen to do a standard installation. After choosing your method of installation, you will want to press the Enter key to continue to the installation.
This step will probably be the longest step. This is because you are at the mercy of the system and how fast it installs Windows XP. After you have pressed the Enter key in the last step, you will see the screen in the first picture here appear. This will mean that the program is running the installation.
Over time, the progress bar will move across the screen, as shown in the second picture where the progress bar is at twenty-five percent.
After the Installation has finished placing the file system on your hard drive, you will see the program restart your computer. Do not be alarmed at this. The first screen seen in the first picture that will come up will be a screen for you to select the language and keyboard style that you wish to use for your new installation of Windows XP. I have chosen to use the English Language and the US keyboard layout.
You may select any configuration that you are comfortable with and then press the Next button. The next thing the program will ask for is the name and organization that this install is affiliated with as seen in the second picture. You will want to fill this in with your information. After filling in the information, you will press the Next button. When the next screen comes up as seen in the third picture , you will want to choose the name you want to give to your computer and the password the Administrator of the computer will have.
Press the Next button. You will now see the area for you to choose the time and date to be set on the computer. This will correspond to the Time Zone in which you live. I live in the Central Time Zone, so I have chosen to have the date and time correspond to that. You may pick which ever you would like from this menu. After choosing the Time Zone you are in, you will need to make sure the time is correct.
This can be done by checking the time as seen in the second picture. The installation will prompt you to improve the display settings as seen in the first picture. You will need to press the OK button for this to continue. After pressing the OK button, you will see another box appear like the one in the second picture. This box will want you to press the OK button also. After pressing OK in the last step, you will see the Microsoft Windows welcome screen appear like the first picture.
On this page, you will want to press the next button at the bottom right. Now you will see a screen prompting you to protect your PC. You will want to decide if you want Windows XP to have automatic updates on or not. I chose to have the system do automatic updating to save from the hassle of having to be sure the computer's user remembers to update the computer.
After making your choice, you will need to press the next button in the bottom right. Now you will be prompted to give the computer a user. For the purposes of this set of instructions I gave it a user named "MyName", but you can name this user whatever you would like.
