I have used autostream and saved the file to my hard drive incorporating the windows XP Pro installation disk. I have burned the the file on my hard drive to CD/RW using nero. When i place the burned cd in cd rom it does not begin the install process. What am I doing wrong? |

I suspect, you did not burn it as an " image " file, you probably burned it as a data file. Select burn an image in Nero, then choose the image file autostream created for you. Also, are you trying to do a repair install or a clean install with the disk? If so, you are booting from the cd correct? Ie, set your bios to boot from cd rom, and boot from the slipstreamed SP2 cd. You should see a brief message, to press any key to continue booting from the cd rom. You will need to do that, otherwise, it will just boot back up into your existing Windows install. -- Don Burnette |

actually I'm trying to do an upgrade from windows XP home that came with the computer to XP Pro. The problem to start with is that former system is a newer version than the one I am trying to install, hence the slipstreaming.

Ok then, I suspect you just did not burn it properly. Did you burn the " image" in Nero? You need to be sure and select to burn an image. -- Don Burnette "rdsimpson" <rdsimpson@discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:B6200097-557F-4CC7-B8DF-11870E2B6614@microsoft.com... > actually I'm trying to do an upgrade from windows XP home that came with > the > computer to XP Pro.

Did you burn the ISO image properly? When you browse the CD what do you see?

Well I now see all kinds of files, not backfiles from nero. I guess you should be told that you are to burn an image instead of doing a backup of the slipstreamed file that you create. Thank you very much for your insight on this. "Dave B." wrote: > Did you burn the ISO image properly?

Truthfully, I've never found slipstreaming to be of much value for a couple reasons: 1. As long as you have av and a firewall working, as soon as you get SP1 or SP2 installed, go onto the net and let the machine handle it automatically. Or better yet: 2. Put the slipstream effort into getting a good imaging program going. Then you can put the system back to whatever point in time you wish and never lose a byte of data, especially if you have the right image program. My data backups run every night or whenever more than 500 Meg of data changes, and the system drive every night plus whenever anything is installed or uninstalled, in which case it's done (image updated) in the background. 3. Slipstreams are hard to test and verify; imaging is not. Plus you can restore anything from a single file to the entire drive to all of every drive. 4. As a last resort, XP backup can do almost the same thing but without the bells & whistles. Once you're installed and working, set a backup schedule and stick to it; you'll never need the XP CD again if you do it right. Automation is the key. Truthfully, I don't back up every night. If not much has happened and I don't care about backups, I simply turn the machine off for the night. It's better to have to remember to NOT backup than it is to backup; forgetting won't hurt anything. HTH Pop` rdsimpson wrote: > Well I now see all kinds of files, not backfiles from nero.
