Probably fine.
However, what bothers me, is that noone really know for sure what kind of
"information" is left on a CD made with one of those proggies.
Until then, I'd prefer oldschool above anything else.
The very old hwg member Hayes Elkins (lots of pun intended ;) posted a nice and
clean, non-BS solution:
1. Copy your CD to a directory [ "c:\xpcd" for example]
2. Acquire SP3 [rename it to "SP3.exe" for example]
3. Type this command: SP3.exe -s:C:\XPCD
...and that should be it.
Clean and simple, yet not especially detailed ;)
Best,

Only time I've run into where SP fails is incorporated hotfixes, some
trickery with file states (expanded when not needed vice versa) & custom
winnt.sif but fixable. Ran into this with a XP Pro Gold (sp0) CD Dell

this laptop.
Are there any issues with using an OEM CD as the seed of a
slipstreamed CD?
Can I go from plain XP to XP SP2 and just bypass XP1?
Could I just as well go from plain XP to SP3?
There are many web tutorials out there explaining the slipstreaming
process - which would you recommend.
Thanx,
