Maybe this is old news to everyone, but I've recently learned how to do this. I was able to upgrade my Windows XP 1.0 to service pack 2 and insert the RAID/SATA drivers for the motherboard I'm getting. While I don't have the new computer to load it onto yet, I can boot from the CD without any errors.

To upgrade to Windows XP: SP2, I followed the following link:

Beginners Guide: Slipstreaming a WindowsXP Install CD with Service Pack 2 - PCSTATS.com

To insert the drivers, I followed this link:

How To: Slipstream your XP installation - admin - Maximum PC

The last step with the WINNT.SIF doesn't quite work as written. I got it to work as the following:

[Data]
AutoPartition=1
MsDosInitiated="0"
UnattendedInstall="Yes"

[Unattended]
UnattendMode=ProvideDefault
OemPreinstall=Yes
OemSkipEula=Yes
NoWaitAfterTextMode=1
NoWaitAfterGUIMode=1

WaitForReboot="No"
TargetPath=WINDOWS
DriverSigningPolicy=Ignore
OemPnPDriversPath= DRIVERS\RAID

[GuiUnattended]
OEMSkipWelcome = 1

[UserData]
ProductKey=
FullName=""
OrgName=""

I have had to do this a couple of times and this is useful information to people who do not know how to do it. Great Post Brian5000.
