yep the majorgeeks is confirmed as genuine.

A few warnings for those making a integrated cd to install sp3 fresh.

1 - windows update site is not updated yet it wont show IE7 as an available update so will be stuck with insecure IE6.
2 - If integrating on a vista machine some keys wont work notably VLKs.
3 - If integrating from RTM (SP0) to SP3 some files remain old like terminal service client so its reccomended to either get a SP2 image or do SP0 > SP2 > SP3 integration.

Could you elaborate on Part 2?

I am guessing if you are dual booting a system the keys wont work sometimes

Druchii if you make the XP cd on a windows vista machine eg. using nlite, then when you goto install XP of the cd VLK keys wont work.

I may be trying my onboard realtek hd audio as recently my xifi seems to be buggy woth poor sound quality and the creative software is bloated too heavy.

Ok, but what is a VLK key?

Oh, Volume Licensing Key. Interesting, i have a site license key that i normally use, so this may effect me pretty badly. Wonder if my old Pro key is still around somewhere...

Out of interest, why would they be affected at all?

Reading up on it, seems you have to fool nlite or XPslipper into thinking it's running on XP for t to work properly, how sad.

Now i have wasted a CD that i know will not work

Ok, this gets more and more interesting, i slipstreamed SP3 using the old kbname.exe -x switch and then running the windows way of integrating into a normal extracted ISO image, as detailed here: http://apcmag.com/how_to_create_a_bo..._xp_sp3_cd.htm just using nlite to create the bootable ISO and label for the CD.
Wonder if it will work :S
I can host the ISO if someone wants to test it... OR, i can VMWARE it

Nikesh · 29-04-2008, 20:42

I'm confused. If I use nlite on my Vista machine to make an XP SP3 disc it won't work?

Sorry to say, it seems that way.

My SP3 disc is borked sadly, guess i have to install my SP2, slipstream in a VM, then burn it, somehow...

Grrr

Here it is, all up and running, i VM'd XP SP2 to slipstream SP3, to install XP SP3 from my newly integrated ISO. Worked wonderfully.

nffc · 30-04-2008, 00:46

lol at the nørwegian.

Unfortunately, I'm a vista convert so (work machines aside) SP3 makes me completely ambivalent.

I suppose I'll roll it out on WSUS.

June for auto-updates...

As for the Noggy, it's because of my keyboard layout, that's the only setting that is Norsk.
