Creating a Windows 2000 CD that has Service Pack 4 integrated

 

This tutorial will explain how to integrate the Service pack directly onto a bootable Windows 2000 CD. This method is called “slipstreaming”.
An advantage is that once the new Windows installation has been updated then you will no longer have to manually install the service pack. You will have a system that is ready to deploy from the moment the installation is completed.

To create this CD-ROM, you will need:

  • An original Windows 2000 CD-ROM. All commercialised versions will accept these changes. It is also possible to create this patched CD-ROM with an older service pack then 4.
  • Nero Burning Rom  is software that can write CD’s and can be downloaded in an evaluation version.
  • Cdsector.bin is the file that will be used to make the final CD bootable.
  • Service Pack 4 (network version) for Windows 2000 (129 MB). The service pack must be in the same language as the operating system, but the method stays the same.

Preparation:

To start, we have to copy the original Windows 2000 CD to a folder on the hard drive (here: d:\w2k).


 

Note: You check to see if the CD has already been patched with a previous version of a service pack. If this is the case then the folder will be different (this is a copy of a CD that is patched with SP3).
