Slipstreaming SATA & RAID Drivers and SP3 Into A WinXP Installation

Slipstreaming SATA & RAID drivers and SP3 into a Windows XP
installation disc.

Since there are so many people trying to install Windows XP on

machines that came with Vista and are having trouble because Windows
XP won't detect their SATA drive, I wrote this guide to make life easier. I
also thought if your going to slipstream mass storage drivers into
Windows XP, it would be a great time to slipstream Service Pack 3 as
well. You're not required to slipstream Service Pack 3 in order to
slipstream the mass storage drivers, but if you do, you should slipstream
Service Pack 3, before the mass storage drivers.
Required Software
Download the following software below and install ImgBurn and
IsoBuster.
1. ImgBurn - http://www.imgburn.com/
2. IsoBuster - http://www.isobuster.com/
3. DriverPacks BASE & DriverPack MassStorage -
http://driverpacks.net/DriverPacks/
4. Windows Xp Service Pack 2 - (depends, read note below)

5. Windows Xp Service Pack 3 -

Note: You’re only going to need Windows XP Service Pack 2 if your

Windows XP disc does not already contain Service Pack 2 in it. If it’s not
clearly labeled on your disc or you are unsure insert your Windows XP
disc into your computer and explore the disc. Look for a file named,
WIN51IP.SP2, if you don’t see it or just have WIN51IP or WIN51IP.SP1
then you need Service Pack 2.
Since by now most Windows XP discs already contain Service Pack 2,
this guide will show you how to slipstream Service Pack 3. Don’t worry if
your Windows XP disc does not contain Service Pack 2, it’s the exact
same procedure as slipstreaming Service Pack 3 only you’re going to
slipstream Service Pack 2 first, then Service Pack 3.
PART I - Slipstreaming Service Pack 3
Getting started
1. Make 2 folders on your c:\ drive. Name them wxp and sp3. Don’t
make them on the desktop!
2. By now you should have downloaded all required software. Rename
WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe to sp3.exe and move it
into the sp3 folder.
3. Copy all the files and folders on the Windows XP disc to the wxp
folder.
4. While your Windows XP disc is in the drive right down the volume
name.
5. Now you have to extract the boot image from your Windows XP disc,
see below.
Extracting boot image

1. Install IsoBuster and start it up, when it asks, click on free function
only.
2. In the left hand box left-click on Bootable Disc.
3. In the right hand box right-click on Microsoft Corporation.img and
select Extract Microsoft Corporation.img. Save the file in your wxp
folder.
Slipstreaming
1. Click on the start button, select run, then type cmd and press enter.
A black box with a command line should pop up.
2. Change the directory to the sp3 folder by typing cd c:\sp3 and
press enter. You should now see C:\sp3>
3. Now type sp3.exe -x and press enter to extract service pack to the
sp3 folder.
4. To slipstream Service Pack 3 into Windows XP type
c:\sp3\i386\update\update.exe -s:c:\wxp and press enter. When
done a confirmation message will pop up that says Integrated install has
completed successfully.
Note: At this point Service Pack 3 is now integrated into the Windows XP
files located in the wxp folder. You could burn the files to a CD or DVD
and have a Windows XP disc that would install Windows XP with Service
Pack 3. If this is all that you want skip down to Burning to disc.
Otherwise continue to Part II.
Part II - Slipstreaming Mass Storage Drivers
Note: Only download and slipstream the Mass Storage drivers. This will
ensure that the installation remains stable. Adding all the other driver
packs could cause you headaches later on. All the rest of the drivers can
and should be installed manually.
Getting started
1. Make a folder on your c:\ drive. Name it dp.
2. Double click on the file DPs_BASE_805.exe that you should have
downloaded earlier. When the extract to box pops up, type c:\dp and
click Extract.
3. Move the file DP_MassStorage_wnt5_x86-32_805.7z to the
c:\dp\DriverPacks folder. Do not extract it.
4. In the dp folder find DPs_BASE.exe and double click it start the
program.
Integrating the drivers

1. In the left hand box expand Settings and select Location.
2. On the right hand side, make sure disc is selected under
Installation platform, then click the browse button. Find your wxp
folder and click the OK button.
3. In the left hand box re-expand Settings and select DriverPacks.
4. On the right hand side check off DriverPack MassStorage 8.05 &
DriverPack MassStorage text mode.
5. In the left hand box select DriverPacks method, and on the right
hand side select method 1.
6. In the left hand box expand Optional settings and select KTD. On
the right side select Enable KTD for ALL slipstreamed DriverPacks.
7. Down at the bottom press the Slipstream! button. When done a
box will pop up saying Slipstream finished in XX seconds. Now it’s
time to burn to disc.
Burning to disc
1. Start up ImgBurn. When started you will be presented with a menu.
Select Write files/folders to disc.
2. On the left hand side, in the box under Source type c:\wxp and
click the + icon. Below that you’ll need to select your CD/DVD burner
under Destination.
3. On the right hand side there is five tabs. Select the Device tab and
set your write speed at the bottom.
4. On the Options tab:
a. In the File System drop down menu select ISO9660 + Joliet.
b. Under that check off Recurse Subdirectories, Include Hidden
Files, and Include System Files. Leave the other boxes unchecked.
5. On the Labels tab type in the original volume label from your
Windows XP disc, in the ISO9660 & Joliet boxes.
6. Under the Advanced tab there are 3 sub tabs, Dates,
Restrictions, and Bootable Disc. On the Dates tab just leave it set to
Use File Date & Time.
7. Then under the Restrictions tab there are 3 more sub tabs.
ISO9660, Joliet, and UDF.
1. On the ISO9660 tab:
a. Under Folder/File Name Length, select Level X - 219
Characters.
b. Under Character Set, select DOS and check off the four boxes
below that.
2. On the Joliet tab:
a. Under Folder/File Name Length, select Level X - 110
Characters.
b. Check off Allow Files Without Extensions and leave Add ‘,1’
Version Number To Files unchecked.
8. Go back to the Bootable Disc tab:
a. Under Options, check off Make Image Bootable.
b. In the Emulation Type drop down menu select None (Custom).
c. In the Boot Image: box type c:\wxp\Microsoft
Corporation.img.
d. Change Sectors To Load from 1 to 4.
9. Finally start burning the disc by clicking on the picture of a folder
with an arrow pointing to a disc, on the bottom left hand side.

Good job IH8U,
I`ve just taken this guide for a test burn twice, got an error
first time when booting from cd (press any key to boot from
cd), It was down to user error, second time it works a
charm.
Under "Burning to disc" you need to select your boot image

file location.
Also when you start to burn it tells you that ISO9660 ASCII
is a better option but when I let it change to this it didn`t
work, so on the next burn I said no to this change.
