How can i update xp home quicker

You can create a custom slip streamed disk with SP3 and any other updates you want. The only issue is you have to manually find/download those updates. If you Google "xp slipstream" you'll get info on how to do it. -Ryan Adams Free Computer Tips and more:http://RyanTAdams.com Paid Tech Support: Black Diamond

You can integrate sp 3 & Ryan's post sp 3 updates, using nlite http://www.nliteos.com/ http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/updatepa... Ryans, post 3 updates is only till Jan 2009 Also, microsoft has iso files of security updates http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913086

http://www.nliteos.com/index.html Sure, there are a few ways to do that. This program allows you to make a slipstream cd for hassle free installations. Check it out. Also I believe Microsoft also has an ISO disk out that might help you out. http://support.microsoft.com/kb/913086

If all the pc's have the same hard ware, you can also integrate drivers with nlite.

I think you need to make a new cd. I never used it, but I don't think you can alter the original cd. Glad you enjoyed your visit.

You copy files from the original xp cd to hard disk, then run through the nlite wizard. you can also create an unattended install disk. It will then create a bootable cd, (iso) then burn as iso.

One last question, how do i know which updates exaclty came after sp3 was released?

If you download the iso file, you will need to extract the files. Then add them individually to the updates folder in the wizard. Read the nlite instructions
