Create a bootable WinXP CD slipstreamed with SP2 and hotfixes

Since Microsoft released Windows XP SP2, there have been more than 120 hotfixes and updates. So even if you've slipstreamed your copy of WinXP with SP2, you could be stuck applying patch after patch for each new install. Here's a much better option: Slipstream your copy of WinXP with SP2, integrate the latest updates (and a few useful utilities), and then burn the image to a bootable CD.

Network manager Louis Nel offers this easy-to-follow tutorial that steps you though the whole process, from slipstreaming WinXP with SP2 to integrating post-SP2 updates to creating a bootable CD.
