Here's a simple procedure for building a slipstream directory that installs Windows 2000 Service Pack 2 (SP2) on a new system. This example uses four directories:
- C:\temp—contains the zipped SP2 download file
- C:\sp—contains the expanded version of SP2 (You can substitute the SP2 CD-ROM for this directory.)
- D:\i386—the \i386 directory of the original Win2K CD-ROM
- E:\w2ksp2—the slipstream directory you're creating
On the command line, enter
c:\temp\w2ksp2.exe /x
to expand SP2 into C:\sp. Enter
md e:\w2ksp2
to create the slipstream directory. Enter
xcopy d:\i386 e:\w2kSP2\i386 /e
to copy the Win2K CD-ROM to the SP2 directory. Finally, enter
c:\sp\update\update.exe s:e:\w2ksp2
to copy SP2 into the slipstream directory.
