If you click on the XP Info link above you'll get to the Slipstreamer and a lot of
other things.
Slipstreaming consists of merging the SP2 files together with the files on your XP
CD. The core files are retained and any obsolete files are replaced. AutoStreamer
makes an .ISO file and you burn the .ISO file CD-ROM (ISO) to a good quality CDR.
This replaces your existing XP CD.
If you ever need to run SFC /SCANNOW the XPCD must have the same service pack level
as is installed on the drive. AutoStreamer is very easy to use, but you may need
to ask DELL if it will work on their OEM XP CDs. (If not, then it should!)
