Since no Service Pack has ever been issued for Win Me there is nothing
to slipstream. Slipstreaming is the process of integrating a service
pack into an earlier version, either RTM (the original release) or a
version containing an earlier service pack.

Slipstreaming has nothing to do with the filing system in use nor is it
exclusive to XP, for example Win2K service packs can be slipstreamed
into W2K as also can be service packs for MS Office into the original MS
Office release (same underlying version naturally).

What can be done, but is hardly worth the trouble is to use msbatch from
the Win98 Resource Kit to integrate missing or updated drivers into the
Win Me file set and also certain hotfixes can be added.

Perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my post. I am not looking to slipstream
a Windows ME disk. My question was "can I create a bootable XP/SP2 CD
within the confines of Windows ME" to be used for my upgrade from ME to
XP Home. I have the full retail XP Home CD and the Microsoft SP2 CD.
Based on your reply, perhaps you could direct me to good information on
how to do it, if what I am asking is possible. Sorry if I wasn't clear
enough. Old brains are sometimes hard to read. :-)
