Just finished my new build, about to install windows. I have been told by a "supposed" IT technition at my work that because of my cpu and hard drive i will need to slipstream windows xp and sp2 to get a hassel free easy installation that will recognise all my hardwear properly. Is this the case or will i get the same results installing xp and then sp2 over the top (my original assumption). Also as the resulting slipstreamed iso will be large is it fine to burn it to a dvd and boot from that or does it need to be on 2 cds?
