April 8, 2014 is the day on which Microsoft will cease providing any kind of patches or fixes, including security fixes, to its nearly 13-year-old Windows XP operating system. 



Microsoft will continue to provide updates to its anti-malware signatures and Microsoft Security Essentials engine for Windows XP users through July 14, 2015.

Build A Custom Windows Recovery Disk!



With Your Favorite Programs / Latest Service Pack (SP3)

AutoStreamer will create an .ISO file and save it on your hard drive.

Follow these instructions for using CDBurnerXP Pro to create a bootable slipstreamed CD from the ISO file you just created.

1) Launch CDBurnerXP . At the welcome screen "New Compilation window" select the first option to "Create a new data CD......."
2) From the menu select "File"
3) From the File menu select "Write Disc from ISO file..."
4) Point to the location of the ISO file
3) check the box "Finalize Disc (No further writing possible)

Or use your CD writing software to burn the ISO to CD-R.

Adding Additional Files to your Slip Streamed disc!

Ok so you got the hang of it. Here is an additional function that you may wish to employ. AutoStreamer allows you to add files to the ISO before it is finished creating it. You can add a directory containing your special drivers so you don't have to search around for them later. Remember that a CD-R can only hold 700MB of data. Windows XP by itself will occupy about 500MB on a CD leaving you with 200 MBs that can be used to add additional files. And a DVD can hold over 4GB of addition data in addition to Windows XP.
