Boot Camp/ XP -sp2 SlipStream Help

[checkmarshall]

Ok ,

I figured I would make one of my first posts here a question...

Ive decided I am going to run Boot Camp on my new iMac and dugg out a copy of XP from 2002 that I recieved for free from a developers confrence.

Now Im pretty new to Macs, but am pretty good with PCs.

I know BootCamp currently only wants XP with sp2 intalled on the partition..
I also know there is a way to create an XP sp2 install disk using a 'SlipStream Method" Ive never done it before, but from what I understand is it works.

QUESTION:

Is there away to create a install disk using the SlipStream method using only my Mac?



I would prefer to do it all on my Mac....Ive Googled it a couple of times with no direct answer.

Help would be appreciated!

Thanks!

Don't defile the Apple thread with this crap!

sorry, but I'm pretty sure you'll need to get your hands on an XP box for a little while to make the disc. It requires some windows specific dos commands

head over to a friends place and try this out

why get it off BT when they have a perfectly legal copy to use? WGA is a ***** and there is no point in sticking your neck out if you don't have to.

once you get a job you'll find things are a lot nicer when you aren't spending your whole day hacking and cracking to keep from getting found out.

I'm not justifying the cost MS charges, I think its ungodly for the quality of their product, but if they already have it, why not use it.
