One side note: instead of messing with making a CD bootable (the most error-prone step) you can rip your windows CD into an ISO, edit the files, then copy them into the ISO in-place using a program such as winiso or another iso-editor.

This is a bit of an old thread, so I thought I'd ask if the winsupersite referred to in prior posts above is still current, and/or if there's anything new that I should know about slipstreaming?
Thanks!

Then you get a "generic" one that you can use should the need arises in the future.I do have high speed at home and I only plan to do this one build, so a slipstreamed disc is not "really" required.
However, I've never done a slipstream before. Partly this is out of curiosity and desire for learning, and partly, it's a "just in case" I need to re-install on the new system at a later date...

Well, the slipstream idea just got deep-sixed. The old system could not read certain files from the original install disk. And I didn't bother trying to do it with my company laptop.
I'll just skip it and do an old-fashioned install and upgrade. No biggie; maybe next time!
