One small detail is missing What happens when you try to boot beside it doesn't boot. I am baffled and fail to understand why Microsoft Support Engineers seem unable to post instructions to make a bootable XP Recovery Console CD and instead refer you to making an ASR floppy on a system that will not boot being able to boot seems to be a requirement for the referenced KB article.

Type the word 'Windows'without the quotes and following my case exactly that is, 'W' is a capital letter and the rest are in small letters. Then type one additional space. Do not add anything else to this file. Do not change anything - for example, do not type everything in capital lettersor anything like that. The contents of the file must be exactly as I said, or Windows setup will issue an error message.

Save the file with the filename 'WIN51' include the quotes so that Notepad will not add a '. Again, the filename's spelling and case must be exactly like mine. Note carefully what I said above. There is an exception to this. Otherwise, skip to the next step. The reason is that updating yourrunning Windows system does not automatically update the I directory.

Important : if you did notconfigureWindows to show you the full filename you should probably do so before changing the name of the file. Otherwise, you may beinadvertently saving the file as 'XPSP2. EXE' without your knowing. That is, you see the filename as 'XPSP2. As a side benefit,the service pack 2 updater will also create a few files including setup. To slipstream SP 2, first open up a command prompt. To do this, click the Start menu, select the Run menuitem, and enter the words 'cmd'.

Click the OK button. A black command prompt window will open. After the program finishes, you can close the command prompt window. Don't worry if the directory does not contain files like 'setup. Note: You will only have 'setup.

The Service Pack 2 slipstreamer creates setup. Now open the wxp Simply doubleclicking it in Windows explorer should do the trick. Go into the cdsdirectory and into wxphome or wxppro; it doesn't matter which directory, followed by the files directory. Drag the 'w2ksect. Don't get creative and place it in some other directory. If you do that, ImgBurn will not beable to find c:w2ksect. If you have not downloaded ImgBurn, get it now and install it.

You will find it listedon thefreecountry. The version of ImgBurn I used to create this guide was 2. My cursory test of a later version, 2. Therefore, you should avoid 2.

Either use the earlier version or get a version later than 2. Do not addor delete anything from the file. A dialog box will open. If youcan't find a 'Load Project' item on the File menu, it means you did not carry out the previous step.

Go back and do it. Click the 'Labels' tab on the right side of the screen. Change the label in the ISO field to one of the following, depending onwhat type of bootable setup CD you're making. This step is probably optional if you can't be bothered. I seem to recall having entered a wrong label in the past without having the Windows installerfail on me.

Finally, click the 'Write' icon at the bottom of the window. To find out which picture the 'Write' button is there are no visual cues, even as to whichpicture actually represents a button , hover your mouse over the pictures near the bottom of the window and wait for the tooltip to appear.

When you hover your mouse over the correct picture, a tooltip will appear with the text 'Write'. Note: depending on your version of ImgBurn, youricon may read 'Build' instead of 'Write'.
