    There`s no reason to reinstall W7, he`s fine.
    Well, I'd still like to for performance/storage reasons.

    Nat, what is the problem with your installation and what you want to do?
    Why does your disk have two partitions? What is in disk D: ?
    Slipstream is to add something to the Win 7 installation disk as updates and / or drivers. I've once tried RT7 and it didn't work as expected.

    Nothing wrong, I'd simply like to speed up the process by slipstreaming because my internet can be slow.
    I've had two partitions ever since I got this laptop so I don't know.

    So slipstreaming would be to add the updates to the installation disk?
    If you read my post MS releases SP2 for Windows 7 - Windows 7 Help Forums
    you'll see that MS has released a single file update with almost all updates. Once you downloaded you will have 90% of the updates.
    Don't waste your time with slipstreaming. It won't help with the slow internet on day use.

    Ah I see. Alright. Thank you.

    One last thing if you don't mind, I also saw this program called WSUS Offline Update. Would you also recommend using that?

    There are many programs that search on MS catalog to find updates.
    I have used WSUS Offline Update to have all MS Office 10 offline updates.
    For Windows I use the SP2 and the Security only offline updates.
