Windows SlipStreaming Guide

Sidney · 22nd December 2007, 17:14

One of our members at PC Apex has posted a new basic guide for "SlipStreaming" your windows install disk. "What is SlipStreaming", you ask? SlipStreaming allows you to update/customize your windows install disk by including service packs, drivers, programs and even custom settings you would normally apply after a default windows install. As you can imagine, this can be a huge time & trouble saver! Need to Hit F6 to provide RAID drivers via floppy disk but you kicked that old floppy format to the curb years ago (like I did)? NO PROBLEM! You can SlipStream your RAID drivers into the install disk and never need a floppy again! Here is a snip from the guide:
"Slipstreaming 101 (just the basics)
Tools needed:

What is Slipstreaming?

Quote:

There is a procedure known as “slipstreaming” that many average computer users do not know but can be pretty useful when you need it. To slipstream means to integrate various patches and service packs into the installation files of the original software such that installing the software also installs all updates automatically.
