In this guide I will show you how to create a windows xp install cd which will include service pack 3 and the latest hot fixes. The main benefit of

creating this CD means you dont have to manually install SP3 + all the hotfixes after you have installed the OS. This can save you a lot of time if you have many PCs you need to build from scratch.


Things you will need for creating a windows xp install cd with SP3 + latest hotfixes included
