[ Outline ] · Standard · Linear+ Intergrating SP1 into a XP Pro cd??, Dell OEM cd.

[boxer]

I have a Dell OEM XP Pro cd that came with my Dell computer when I purchased it. I want to make a ISO of it and then add Service Pack 1 to it and then remake the cd. I want to do this because in my Dell computer I have installed a 160gb drive, XP Pro pre-SP1 will not allow me to use the full 160gb partition and I do not want to partition it. I want to install XP Pro fresh OEM onto the drive

I know there was a turorial somewhere once on how to do that, and it is possible right?? So that when I install it from scratch it will automaticly be installing XP Pro with SP1 at that time. Thank you very much. :)

Yeah thanks, I have all the drivers for the hardware from the Dell site, the latest. So if all goes well it should work, and yeah OEM XP cd's from Dell use the m-board BIOS to retreive the ID for the cd key all that. :D

Thanks a bunch.

Oh and SP2, nah not for me way to bulky and touchy with certain applications, do not need that kind of security. And such a loss in resources.
