Do you occasionally install Windows XP for friends and customers only to have to wait for an hour while all the updates download only to find that you'll need to reboot and download more? No longer!
What you'll need:
1. Fire up the RyanVM Integrator.
--1a. Select the drive where the XP CD is located.
--1b. Select a destination directory (I chose the desktop, but wherever.)
--1c. Select the location where you downloaded the Post-SP2 Update Pack
--1d. Select any optional addons (I also downloaded DirectX 9.0c, also available on RyanVM's site)
--1e. Hit the integrate button! (The process will take some serious time, based on how fast your PC is.)
2. Extract the xpboot.bin file from the Xpboot.zip that you downloaded above.
3. Now to fire up Nero and insert your blank CD.
--3a. Choose the Bootable CD option. Then for the boot file, choose the xpboot.bin that you extracted in Step 2. Finally, check the box for 'expert settings', choose 'No Emulation', and change the number of loaded sectors to 4.
--3b. Change the label of the CD as seen below (Probably not required, but meh). Then press the 'New' button.
--3c. In the box that pops up, drag all the files in the folder you created in Step 1b to the CD and BURN BABY BURN.
You now have a CD with every patch since Service Pack 2 integrated. Check out some of the other cool additions you can make to the default XP install here.
