Turn your old WinXP SP0 install CD into a WinXP SP2 install CD

[Joel Schultz]

Creating a bootable Windows XP setup CD that also contains all the Service Pack 2 updates is called "slipstreaming". I thought I'd share this useful technical tidbit. Read about it here.

You'll need a CD burner, of course. And no, you can't use this as a sneaky way to get two XP licenses. The newly burned install CD will still require the same CD key as the original, and will still need activating and thus subject to the MS product activation police.

Useful tip, thanks. Might even be more secure to install.
