How To: Slipstream your XP installation

I have given this some more thought and reckon that the message that "Windows cannot copy iaStor" is because the directory path is wrong. I tried starting with missing out the c: then got to thinking that perhaps the path has to be the location of the CDROM drive which in my case is E: However supposing it is not drive E in every case then it would not be universal. So what exactly is looking for what? Is it the C: drive looking for the driver or is the search originating from the CDROM drive? It's taking me a lot of CD blanks to get nowhere so far! It amazes me that Microsoft sells a product that seems to be unloadable without giving a proper workaround.

I too had the problem with the driver path so I omitted the c:\xpsetupcd as when the disk is burned this part of the path is not included. The setup still asked for the floppy but then it did not stop to ask again prior to installation but gave a message saying "iaStor.sys could not be added" - probably not the exact words - and gave option to ignore. Installation continued but in the end gave the blue screen! Needs more work I think
