will xp home sp1 work?

You can't just run the updater to slipstream. If you want to slipstream the "native" way, you need to use the commandline to issue an integrate command.

You didn't honestly thing that I was implying that you could apply SP2 to Wine?

Yes, I meant that you should download the updater, extract it using "xpsp2.exe -x", and then apply the extracted "update.exe -s" to your i386 folder.

I'll try it tonight for grins.

Well, you can't assume around here, there are some real Darwin's Award candidates posting around recently.

Heh, that's hilarious. "Dude, you need 4 MB more harddrive space!"

Did you format the HD in NTFS? Maybe it's just FAT32 playing a joke on you?

My solution... I'm borrowing a friends XP Pro Sp2 disc and using my old key.

Yeah, but I'm not a n00b.

FWIW I ran the extraction "-x" part just fine from within WINEFILE under Darwine. It expanded the Service Pack.

The Slipstreaming part didn't go so well. USERENV.DLL was missing. I copied over the one from my Boot Camp install, though I guess I could have unpacked the one in the SP2 archive. Then I found out that my only pre SP2 CD (Dell OEM) has other patches integrated, and so slipstreaming won't work. I'll see if I can get my hands on a clean pre-SP2 I386 folder and repeat the experiment.

For those with only an upgrade disk I believe if you load old OS in a usb cd drive, then you can have windows verify to that drive during install.
also, for those borrowing a buddies disk make sure pid matches your legal key.
