    Slim XP Pro

    I'm trying to slipstream SP1 as on this site:

    And at the same time I'm slimming down the install disk as on this site:

    I was successful in slipstreaming SP1 and in honing down the install disk to 225MB.

    My problem is that I can't figure out how to make it boot in the normal XP way. I'm able to include an ME bootdisk with smartdrv.exe and install that way. But I'd like to be able to directly boot from the disk and install.

    TIA

    The Elder Geek has some excellent instructions on making the CD bootable on his slipstreaming page:
