    I tried to use Autostreamer to make a Windows XP SP2 disc from my SP1 disc. I downloaded the SP2 install and used Autostreamer. But after burning the .iso and using the disc, I find that even though it is named SP2, it is still a SP1 disc.

    I thought this may be an error on my part, so I downloaded everything again and tried again. After burning the .iso I used Autostreamer to check the disc. As with the first time, it was a SP1 disc. What am I doing wrong? Is it Autostreamer? Should I just not use that and try to slipstream a cd by myself?

    You're probably better off slipstreaming SP2 yourself, since all you want to do is integrate SP2 into you current SP1 disk. Either that or try nLite, although that's probably overkill also.

    FWIW, I had a problem similar to yours that was cleared up with a newer release of AS, but that was a couple of years ago. AFAIK, the latest is 1.33 or something like that. In any case, Autopatcher has disowned it's baby brother so support is somewhat sketchy.

    nLike worked perfectly. It has a lot of features that may become useful in the future, so I think i'll hang onto it.
