Error Solutions: How to Build a Windows XP SP3 Integrated Installation CD

You need:

Old/original Windows XP installation CD (any of SP0 to SP2 will do even though only those from SP2 are supported officially). Make sure to use build 5512 or above.
Microsoft Windows SP3
unzipper like WinRar, unrar for Linux / Ubuntu or the like
ISO creator / CD burn program like mkisofs, InfraRecorder, UltraISO, Basero (or others) or even old school
Boot image exctracted using BBIE or use this (also see Box.net box below)
~ 1 GB free tmp space on disk

Extract / copy old Windows CD’s content (including hidden files!) to one folder (e.g. c:\XPCD)
extract SP3’s content to another folder (e.g. c:\XPSP3) using e.g. unrar, winrar or hit Win+R and type
1. c:\XPSP3\windowsxp-kb936929-sp3-x86-enu.exe –x
```
c:\XPSP3\windowsxp-kb936929-sp3-x86-enu.exe –x 
```
and select target folder, here c:\XPSP3
To slipstream the old CD do Win+R and copy+paste or type
1. c:\XPSP3\i386\update\update.exe /integrate:c:\XPCD
```
c:\XPSP3\i386\update\update.exe /integrate:c:\XPCD 
```
Create bootable CD image or CD using the boot image and your updated folder c:\XPCD. I recommend using mkisofs (Windows or Linux executable) using
1. mkisofs \
2. -b cdboot/msboot.img -no-emul-boot -boot-load-seg 1984 -boot-load-size 4 \
3. -iso-level 2 -J -l -D -N -joliet-long -relaxed-filenames \
4. -V "WINSP" \
5. -o ../winsp.iso .
```
mkisofs \     -b cdboot/msboot.img -no-emul-boot -boot-load-seg 1984 -boot-load-size 4 \     -iso-level 2 -J -l -D -N -joliet-long -relaxed-filenames \     -V "WINSP" \     -o ../winsp.iso . 
```
from within the root folder of the CD to be, i.e. c:\XPCD. Create a new folder there and drop your boot image, i.e. cdboot/msboot.img.
Done.

You might want to try booting from the image using VirtualBox.
