Hack can upgrade XP Home to XP Pro Lite

[jmg823]

instead of dling Nlite you can use the cmd.exe within windows to update the original setup files with the newer sp2 files

extract the sp2 setup file to a folder, navigate to the folder you saved the sp2 file in by typeing, cd C:\foldername\etc\etc then type WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU -x where WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU is the file name, to make it easier on yourself rename the setup file so the nameis shorter. then when it prompts you to extract to a location select one doesnt really matter, just be sure you know where you put it. copy the entire contents of your xp cd to a folder on your computer. then type c:\folder name of sp2\i386\update\update /s:C:\foldername of setup cd .

Ill do an example.

cd C:\downloads
sp2 -x sp2=renamed sp2 installer
c:\sp2 for my extraction location i choose c:\sp2 after this step i copied my xp disc to c:\xpcd
c:\sp2\i386\update\update /s:c:\xpcd

then a notification will come up telling you when its complete

my steps takes you through the slipstream process, these steps seem to be faster for me since i know what im doing, if you dont know more of how the os works just go with a program to do it for you.
