Next, create a new folder on the hard drive, insert the original Windows 7 installation DVD, and copy its contents into the folder. Once all of the files are copied, launch RT Se7en Lite. A new window will open. Another new window will open with a list of operating systems. Click the Browse button at the top of the window, and this time select the SP1 stand-alone installer file you downloaded earlier windows6.
Click Start. The process can take a considerable amount of time, especially on slower systems. When the slipstreaming process has completed, RT Se7en Lite will report whether the operation was successful.
Upon completion the Windows 7 installer files should consume about 3. With Service Pack 1 successfully integrated into a Windows 7 installation image, you will have no need to download and install SP1 after a fresh OS installation.
Any data currently residing on the drive will be deleted during this process, so back up anything you want to keep. In the command-prompt window, at the C: prompt, type Diskpart and press Enter to launch the utility. Next you have to create a new partition, make the partition active, format it using the FAT32 file system, and assign the drive a letter.

Sure it is! You can use the WAIK to slipstream any update you wish, including service packs. However, it's not for the novice. Tuesday, September 28, PM. Hi I agree. Ziegler 1. No, the Sp includes a stoppage which disallows the Offline Slipstreaming. MS includes the stoppage after we released a tool to slipstream the Vista Sp1 some times ago.
You can workaround the stoppage but it is not officially supported. Maybe the Sp1 RTM allows slipstreaming, the current beta not.

Granted, it is a different procedure for Windows 7, but nevertheless, the outcome is the same. Most importantly, notice the Slipstream Service Pack checkbox. This is what you want.
Tick it and click OK to proceed. The SP Integrator will launch next. Browse to the location of the service pack and then click Start. The process of slipstreaming will begin, and it can take a very long time, as much as one hour or more, depending on your processor and disk speed. The integration may fail without any useful information to let you know what went wrong.
For example, I was unable to slipstream using Windows 8, which is why the rest of this tutorial will continue on top of Windows 7.
This may save some of you time and error. Next, click on the Tasks tab on the left side. You will now have the option to choose what you want to do. At this point, you only want to create an ISO bootable image, so tick the last checkbox.
This will enable the ISO Bootable tab on the left side. There are multiple options available. The last is quite handy if you wish to test your configuration in a virtual machine before booting for real. Anyhow, once you're ready, hit Make ISO and wait. Now, this is something I would not recommend. The same thing was true for nLite and vLite and all other programs offering rigorous tweaking and customization for Windows.
You can never really know what you're going to break far down the road just because you disable this or that option. All right, if you insist.
RT7Lite allows you to add updates to the system, in addition to the service pack. The idea is the same. You select downloaded Microsoft updates and add them to the image.
Then, you can uninstall Windows 7 features, change pretty much everything, and even make your image install in a fully unattended manner by providing the serial key and user configuration beforehand. Not recommended for multi -boot setups. So far, we've discussed the GUI options only. But you may also be interested in doing the process entirely from the command line. This takes more expertise, and usually goes beyond the simple process of just slipstreaming the service pack, which is our mission.
Nevertheless, for those a little curious, here's a handful of commands and screenshots highlighting the Linux like mode of work in Windows. Anyhow, the first thing you want to do is copy the Windows 7 disc to a directory on your hard disk. Then, extract the service pack file to another folder. Like we did with PE Builder and such. The actual name of the downloaded service pack will differ from my generic example. Please see the earlier RT7Lite section for links and specific details.
Anyhow, inside the extracted folder, you will find several more archives that need to be extracted. You can use archiving tools to do that, and if you wonder which one, then you may want to consult my recommended software list for that.
The following files need to be extracted, into the same directory like your service pack. Essentially, it's a tool that lets you mount image files to a loopback device, essentially, similar to what we did in the KVM clone article.
