I pointed it to the root directory of where I had copied the XP CD to
rather than to the I386 directory, try pointing it to C:\XPCD.

That didnt work ether. Im begining think this version of windows is just not
compatible with this slipstreaming stuff. Iv looked allover the net. Iv
havent seen anything like this.

When i purchased this cd it was labeled SP2B, but after i installed it i
only had SP1 on the system. I had to update the rest.

That server was unavailable when I tried to see whatever it is that you were
trying to show us. Could you summarize it in words?

I don't know the answer to your question but I wondered why you were
stopping at XPsp2. Then I found that instead of there being an SP3 for XP
X64 somehow W2003sp2 can be used. Perhaps you should be trying to
slipstream with it instead? ; )

(Microsoft search for
xp sp3 x64 2003 sp2
)

1 Windows Server 2003 Service Pack 2 can also update x64 versions of Windows
XP Professional.

Actually I don't think it's clear from the migration chart there that this
gets you anything more than XPsp2 X64. I guess you would have to use the
MBSA XML descriptions of both updates to figure out which is more current.


Good luck
