Slipstreaming Windows XP SP3

27 06 2008

I’ve been trying to get my slipstream of Windows XP SP3 working for the last few days but to no avail. I keep getting the cursed “ohci1394.sys not found” message whenever I tried to boot my new slipstreamed XP install. After much searching I turned up nothing at all which was helpful, I checked the CD and the file exists on the CD so I pretty much had no idea what was causing it.

After speaking with a few senior techs at work we came to the conclusion that for some reason using a rewritable dvd was causing it to fail, I tested this theory and it turns out that this was the cause. So if you are having this problem and using a rewritable disc to test just try burning to a normal disc and see if it fixes your problems.
