In trying to integrate sp3 into the same directory into which I
copied my XP cd, I get an error msg. that says: failed to copy some or
all the files. A: check that no network or copy errors occurred. And,
B: Format of destination is correct etc. The folders are both on a
ntfs drive. (If that's what b): means). I'm using the instructions
found at: >
LINK
Can someone figure out the error of my ways, from the above
info.? I'm trying to make a slipstreamed XP boot cd. TIA

I can't answer your query unfortunately, but ... have a rhetorical
question for you. How are you going to prove that the slipstream works
when you're done creating it?
I would suggest either a VM or if you're going to test it on a disk,
don't use your production disk; use one that's expendable. The majority
of slipstreams fail the first time used for many various reasons.
I only mention this because of the large number of slipstream posts
recently. It's really annoying to have a machine go catastrophic and
THEN discover the slipstream doesn't work! And too many of them don't
work. You'd be way ahead by turning to Acronis True Image or Norton's
Ghost if you're loaded wiht money and image your drives instead.

Hi Ed,
I used this site:

I've created many from following it and haven't had any issues.

Thanks everyone for the replies. I hadn't thought about testing
the disk. Since I don't have a disk to test it on, at this time, I
guess I'll go the Acronis route. I can get it at my local Costco for
$50, with the Disk Director Suite included.
