How
can I update the I386 folder on my
computer with the SP files?
After
installing SP2 (or any other Windows
2000 or XP SP) on your computer you do
NOT have to re-apply it if you
choose to remove and reinstall a system
component.
But
whenever you want to install or
reinstall a new system component or you
will be prompted for both the original
Windows XP i386 folder and the current
Service Pack i386 folder, because the
operating system "knows" it should be
looking for the required files in both
locations. Sometimes this can be a pain
because you don't always remember to
keep both folders accessible on your
local computer of network LAN.
That's why
you'd want to update the original i386
files with the latest SP files, thus
providing a unified installation point
for all future references.
The
process of updating the i386 original
folder with the latest SP files is
similar to slipstreaming the latest SP
into your installation files. You should
follow the guidelines outlined in steps
5 through 7 in the slipstreaming guide.
You now
have an installation point for all
future needs. |
