DIY Service Pack CD Follow Up

Ok, so this is a quick follow up.

I have had a need to patch a 2k3 CD and i figured that the windows XP boot image would probably not work all that well, so i had to extract another image, and its actually rather simple to do, and since i know i will be looking for this later, well, here we are with another tutorial

This is more of an extension of the XP SP3 Tutorial, because this basically applies to creating a patched bootable installation CDs of the other microsoft-engineered OSes

Tools needed: IsoBuster (Once again, consider donating)
The OS CD that you are trying to update

* Put the OS CD in the drive, hold Shift so it does not annoy you with the auto run.

* Fire up IsoBuster

* After a little while, you will see a drop down on the left corner, outlining all the CDs in all your drives

* Navigate the the drive with the Windows of your choice CD in it.

* Expand it with the plus sign

* You will now see 3 lines, one will have an "iso" next to it, second will be a folder, but its the one in between that you are interested in (wow that sounds wrong)

* Anyways, expand that, find the img file, right click, say extract, point it to a place on your system where you will find it later. (you can give it a .bin extension later too, it does not really matter for img burn, just make sure your extension is correct)

* Now when you are making your final arrangements for ImgBurn, open up the ibb file in notepad and edit the line that points to the bin file, to the one extracted.

Use a little common sense, and you should be all set

Hope this helps someone, too
