Use nLite and be done with it, otherwise seek out the MSFN site.

Only time I've run into where SP fails is incorporated hotfixes, some trickery with
file states (expanded when not needed vice versa) & custom winnt.sif but fixable. Ran
into this with a XP Pro Gold (sp0) CD Dell PN: 6u814.

I have a Dell Inspiron that came with Dell's Reinstallation CD for Windows
XP Home (not even SP1, just plain XP). I'd like to use this disk as the
basis for a slipstreamed XP Home SP2 or SP3 installation and repair CD for
this laptop.
Are there any issues with using an OEM CD as the seed of a slipstreamed CD?
Can I go from plain XP to XP SP2 and just bypass XP1?
Could I just as well go from plain XP to SP3?
There are many web tutorials out there explaining the slipstreaming
process - which would you recommend.
Thanx,
