xmitchx Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 So the title pretty much explains it all. I have an SP1 CD and I want to install XP on my MacBook, can I do it? Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12838-windows-xp-sp1-cd/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
netgodsrdn2 Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 So the title pretty much explains it all. I have an SP1 CD and I want to install XP on my MacBook, can I do it? Why not slipstream it to SP2 and then build your ISO for your MacBook? Here is a pretty good step by step on XP slipstreaming. http://www.tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=295 Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12838-windows-xp-sp1-cd/#findComment-81315 Share on other sites More sharing options...
chiefsalami Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 No, it won't work. The process is designed for SP2. But you can make a SP2 disc by "slipstreaming" SP2 into your SP1 disc. There are instructions on the internet about how to do that.

PeteUD Posted March 23, 2006 Share Posted March 23, 2006 You can use nLite to integrate the SP2 update. That's what I did and it works like a charm. 1. download and install nLite. 2. download winxp sp2 from Microsoft site http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details...&displaylang=en 3. copy your winxp sp1 (all the contents from cd to hard drive). 4. run nLite and integrate the downloaded sp2 with the copied source of sp1 (http://www.nliteos.com/guide/). The software is very easy to use and steps are self explanatory. 5. Now you've created a slipstreamed win xp sp2 source. 6. Follow the HOW http://wiki.onmac.net/index.php/HOWTO No need to create and burn an ISO Link to comment https://www.insanelymac.com/forum/topic/12838-windows-xp-sp1-cd/#findComment-81320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alex Black Posted April 7, 2006 Share Posted April 7, 2006 Im sorry if this has been asked before. I understood the slipstreaming method of patching a XP sp1 disk to sp2, but is there anyway to patch the XP image without using a PC? I think nLite is XP only. (I fried my PC a couple days ago..) I guess i could do the patch in virtual XP with parallels but thats not really preferred. Does anyone have any ideas?
