hi
Ive googled for slipstreaming xp and tried the instructions on the top 3 sites , starting with paul thurrotts site, the problem I'm having is when it gets to this bit
Now, you need to extract the SP2 files. To do so, open up a command line window by navigating to Start, and then Run, and typing "cmd" (no quotes); then hit ENTER. Then, using the following commands, navigate to that folder and extract the files (Note that the text [ENTER] means hit the ENTER key):
cd \
cd sp2
xpsp2.exe -x:c:\sp2 [ENTER]
Your computer will seem to pause for a bit, and then an Extracting Files dialog will come up and display the progress.
however they dont extract to c:\sp2
they go to some obscure place that I cant locate
any ideas what I'm doing wrong or an easier way to do it?
many thanks
cheers
