@sam hansen
May I suggest that you stop being a smug prick and use your brain for a minute or two.
The instructions tell you exactly what to do to make the disc bootable.
And anybody with a pulse would be able to figure out that you need to copy the install files, even if the directory stated is incorrect.

If you have difficulty following the instructions, then clearly you don’t have the authority to call those incompetent who do understand the process.

May I suggest that you check your content before making it public. It has the effect that people believe you to be an expert when in fact there may be some doubt.

Firstly your site nerosmart.net alludes to the product ‘Nerosmart’ and you directly refer to it i.e. ‘if you are using Nero, it will look something like this..’ but in using NeroSmart it looks nothing like ‘THIS’. Every attempt I have made with Nero to produce an image, iso or any other form of bootable xp64 install disk has failed due to the confusion and ambiguity generated by Nero and sites like yours. I close by further pointing out that your recipe for slipstreaming contains a glairing error and if there is one such obvious error how many more and I quote:

‘In the example above, this is the x86 installer being used and the Windows XP x64 CD has been copied to C:\XP64\’…. then further down:

‘5.File Browser area, navigate to c:\xp. Select all of the files inside of that directory and copy them over to the left side for burning.’

Perhaps this is simply another manifestation of the hoardes on the web who are both illiterate and incompetent.

I was able to integrate the service pack but for some reason my bootable dvd just freezes on “loading windows”, right after all the install files are copied. Any ideas?

@joe90: are you high, mate?
I don’t see any reason as to why Microsoft would have a “non-original” SP2 for one of their OS’s for download.

OK I figured it out after many trys. I had to create the shortcut and run as admin and it worked like before no probs under Vista Business x64 to create my XP SP2 x64 CD.

I ista Business, Ultimate or Premium ista thing. also I no longer get the extract with option in the “right click” menue for the service packs like under S2K3 X64.

The cmd method still worked so now if I have them extracted, what is the manual or simpler way to update the amd64 folder? Does copy and replacing the extracts to teh CD amd64 folder count as slipstreaming?

Thankx in advance.

My scanner is a HP scanjet 4600. HP only provides basic drivers for XP X64, which work ok in SP1. After installing SP2 the PC didn’t connect to the scanner, although it “saw” it. Removed SP2, everything ok.
Which part of SP2 causes this?

The “Microsoft Corporation.img” can be extracted from the existing CD using ISOBuster Trail version (http://www.isobuster.com/)

I can confirm I was able to follow FellipeGeek’s instructions to slipstream an x64 setup from an x86 machine. I downloaded both the SP2 exe’s, extracted using 7zip (extract to a folder near root to avoid long filename problems), copied the exe, dll, msi files from the x86’s i386\update folder to the x64’s amd64\update and then ran the amd64\update\update.exe from the command line using /s:. eg I had copied the win server 2003 files from the iso image mounted to my z-drive using:

xcopy /E Z: C:\winsvr2003\integrated

so my update command was:

c:\winsvr2003\amd64\update\>update.exe /s:c:\winsvr2003\integrated

Now time to see how the install actually goes…

thanks FellipeGeek!

Sounds like your running it on x86 – this is only for x64 platforms.

I’ve downloaded the file “WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB914961-SP2-x64-ENU.exe” but when I try to start it it says “WindowsServer2003.WindowsXP-KB914961-SP2-x64-ENU.exe\ is not a valid Win32 application”. What should I do? Any kind of advice? Thank you
