Windows 7: Slipstream Win7 SP1

Ok, now that SP1 is out (or almost out), heres a way to slipstream it into the Windows 7 install dvd. From what I read, its working.

How To Integrate or Slipstrem Windows 7 Service Pack 1 (SP1) Into Installation DVD ISO

Will be trying out in a day or two. Anybody try and get good/bad results, please post so everybody can know. Also, please post if alternative methods work/work better.

Hi Bill

Did this yesterday.Followed the tutorial with no problems except the length of time it took.Integrating the service pack took just over 90 mins on my notebook.(will be interested to hear how long it takes on a more powerfull machine) and saving the ISO image took around an hour to complete.I think the whole process took about 3 hours but that is on a netbook and i was using it at the time.
I havent installed from it yet but have used the Winre from the disk and that was fine.

One thing to note would be in step 3 (extracting the image) It spent around 10 mins at 100% before offering the list operating system page.I thought at first it had maybe crashed but left it to its own devices it eventually gave the next option.(again i dont know if thats just due to my underpowered notebook)

Good Luck All

In the list of os selection menu I did not get the slipstream option..why?

We need to know beforehand if this slipstream process will not bring the drawbacks found in the slipstreamed version of Windows Vista SP1 when it was necessary to install SP2 ... I'd rather wait ... Anyway, good to know!

Hi Bagavan

Not sure why you didnt get the slipstream option.There should be a tick box below the select operating system tabs.Are you using version 2.6.0Beta as the slipstrem option isnt available in earlier editions i dont think.
