I have tried to create a new boot disk with SP3 or even XP2 but get an error
telling me that the integration failed. This is using the instructions in the
post http://www.helpwithwindows.com/WindowsXP/winxp-sp2-bootcd.html
The error I am getting says: Failed to copy some or all of the files
necessary for integrated install. Please check that: a) No network or copy
errors occurred during the integration process b) The format of the
destination directory is correct. The files to be integrated must reside n an
i386 and /or ia64 or nec98 directory.
First, I think I understand the message and am doing what it asks. However,
I do not know what to do to avoid the error.
I started with a base Win-XP Pro upgrade disk. I have successfully (I think)
created an integrated SP-1 disk. I would like - think I need to to get the
upgrade to work with a later version of XP - make a disk with SP-2 or SP-3 on
it. Help is greatly appreciated.

In order to integrate the latest service pack into the Windows XP
installation CD you need a few things...

- The original installation CD (generic/unmodified is best.)
- The latest service pack (SP3 will integrate fine into a Windows XP RTM,
SP1, SP1a or SP2 CD.)
http://www.microsoft.com/downloadS/details.aspx?familyid=5B33B5A8-5E76-401F-BE08-1E1555D4F3D4
- Sufficient Disk Space.
- Enough disk space to copy the CD to your hard disk drive.
- Also enough disk space for the Service Pack and for it to
extract/integrate properly.
- Some way to extract the boot loader from the CD.
http://www.nu2.nu/bbie/
- Some way to burn a bootable CD (hardware and software, including a blank
CD.)
(CD writer and software capable of using the boot image/loader you have to
make the CD bootable.)

Essentially - it goes like this. You copy the CD to some directory on your
computer - I prefer a root directory like C:\WinXP\ - in its entirety. Once
that is copied, you download the latest service pack to the computer and put
it someplace easy to find - again, I like root directories like C:\SP3\.
You then go into the directory where you saved the service pack file and
enter the command:
SPExecutable.exe /integrate:<directorypath>
Or - given to my example with SP3 and the directories:
WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe /integrate:C:\WinXP

Then - you wait. It finishes and you can then use the BBIE to extract the
boot image from the original CD and use that boot image with your CD writing
application, CD writing hardware and blank CD to create a CD from your now
patched set of files within the C:\WinXP directory (if you named them as
such.)

Or you can look into nLite or AutoStreamer to do most of that for you.

I did this and at this point I got the error message shown above when trying
to integrate SP2 or SP3.

Which CD are you using to do all this - as you stated in your original
posting, "I started with a base Win-XP Pro upgrade disk. I have successfully
(I think) created an integrated SP-1 disk"

Are you using the original or the latter?

I have used the original 2002 Windows XP Pro Upgrade disk which I think is
the first one without any service packs (none are listed on the disk).
