A service pack is a product-specific collection of updates that fix security, program compatibility and system reliability issues. It also provides enhancements, administration tools, drivers and additional components that have been developed since the product's release. In short, a service pack helps to keep your product current and extends its functionality. This guide will describe the easiest way possible to slipstream (also known as 'Integrate') a Service Pack into Windows 2000, XP or 2003. To do this, we will only need one program - MSFN's very own popular nLite created by nuhi. While nLite is primarily aimed to remove components to slim down a Windows CD, it has the required tools to do just an automated Service Pack slipstream as well as create a CD image. Prerequisites:
Before we start, make sure you are doing this on an NT Operating System (those are Windows 2000, XP or 2003) otherwise the slipstream will not work. nLite also requires the .NET Framework to function. Let's get started! Download the latest version of nLite from the nLite Download Page. If you prefer not to install nLite, you can grab the self-extracting archive instead. Start up nLite using the shortcut on the desktop (for Installer), or double-click on nlite.exe directly (from the self-extracted archive). The first thing to do on nLite is to instruct where to find your Windows CD, and then instruct where to copy the files to on your Hard Disk; which are illustrated in the screenshots below:
After clicking on OK, files will be copied to a folder you specified on your Hard disk from your Windows CD:
Click on Next. In here, we can choose a Service Pack to slipstream with the Windows Setup files we copied to the Hard Disk a moment ago:
Once you have clicked on Open, the slipstream process will
begin. You will see "extracting" and "updating files" windows
appear during this time.
At this point, you can choose to click on Next and remove unwanted components from your Windows CD to speed up installation and various other advantages (see nLite homepage for more information). Otherwise, click on Make ISO to finish the job and create your ISO file (for personal preference, you may want to change your CD label in the highlighted area first in the screenshot below). Once finished, quit the program.
You should now have a single ISO file sitting on your Hard Disk; it's an image dump of a CD which you can burn to CD using a capable burning application that supports ISO files. For Nero, you would go to File -> Burn Image -> select your ISO file, and start burning. It's as simple as that!
