Adding drivers to the slipstreamed disc is done separately using the Driverpacks Base program. Start by double-clicking the downloaded Driveqjacks Base file to open a dialogue box. By default, this will extract the program files to the same directory as the installer, so click Extract if you're happy with this, or cl ick the' ... ' button to choose a new location.
Once extracted, five folders will appear along with some files. Move the other Driverpacks files you've downloaded into the Driverpacks folder (not to be confused with the '3rd party Driverpacks' folder). Double-click the DPs_BASE file to begin.
A series of screens will appear. Use the '<' and '>' buttons to move between them. Start by selecting the required language from the dropdown menu before clicking '>' twice. Leave 'disc' selected under 'Installation platform' and click Browse. Choose the installation files folder created earlier in lite and click OK. Review the choice - if it's correct, you should see Windows XP Home (or Professional) SP3 appear under
Location at the top of the screen.
Use the next screen to select which Driverpacks to slipstream into the installation disc. Only those copied into the Driverpacks folder should be visible - tick those you wish to include (or click Select All). If you select Mass Storage, the' Driverpack Mass Storage text mode' option becomes available. Only tick this option if you have to provide a floppy disk with drivers at the beginning of the Windows installation process.
That's nearly it - leave Method 2 and GUIRunOnce selected on the next two screens, and then follow the number of optional screens; two might be of interest.
The KTD screen enables you to copy the drivers to the hard disk after the Windows setup process completes, in case you add or change hardware at a later date. There's also a screen for ATI graphics card owners to choose a version of the ATI Catalyst software to install alongside the driver. When done, click the Slipstream button to add the drivers to the installation disc. Once complete, click OK to finish. You're ready to create a disc or an ISO file.
