woodyp Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 could someone please tell me what is the difference between the checked cd image and the non checked version (besides file size) Professional Edition CD - Checked Version CD Image File, 612.2 MB Professional Edition CD - CD Image File, 579.02 MB Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/177988-windows-xp-sp2-rc2-now-released/page/11/#findComment-2290680 Share on other sites More sharing options...
I8PP Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I believe Checked builds contain more debugging code and runs slower as a result. Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/177988-windows-xp-sp2-rc2-now-released/page/11/#findComment-2290691 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamsINdigital Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Did your download fail or just appear to hang up? Mine appeared to hang at 1.6 mb but I think that it downloaded 1.6 mb of stuff and then did some analysis of my system. When it resumed downloading after a few minutes the size of the download dropped from 100 mb to 95.8 mb. It seems to hang for awhile, but then I get a screen that says it failed.

ATLien_0 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 I thought this bug would also be fixed in this build. When i try to dl something in ie it says i dont have the right security settings to download, but my settings are on low.

new_duxie Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Does anyone know if the WinXP w/SP1 boot disks work with a slipstreamed winxp w/SP2 rc2 cd-rom? I'm guessing it won't as the original boot disks never worked with SP1. Also how can I obtain the new deploy tools or is this only availible to official testers Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/177988-windows-xp-sp2-rc2-now-released/page/11/#findComment-2290824 Share on other sites More sharing options...

dreamsINdigital Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 got same error, doing network install I tried that too, but I get something like it can't continue because atapi.sys is in use. I turn off all programs, didn't work... restarted, didn't work. What uses this file? Microsoft doesn't like me. :pinch: Link to comment https://www.neowin.net/forum/topic/177988-windows-xp-sp2-rc2-now-released/page/11/#findComment-2291132 Share on other sites More sharing options...
harleydog Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 Bah, mine's still failing at the 1.6 MB mark on Windows Update. :hmmm: Mine did that as well. I did not do anything, just let it go, and it resumed after a while. At one point, it cancelled the d/l. I tried it again, and it picked up where it left off and finished with no more problems..

walters17 Posted June 16, 2004 Share Posted June 16, 2004 If you get the atapi.sys error its because you have Daemon Tools uninstall Daemon tools and it will work.

Seth Posted June 17, 2004 Share Posted June 17, 2004 Ughhhh... I'm torn. I need to reformat so badly, but I gotta wait till final to slipstream. And I don't want to format twice.

Can I uninstall an RC2 that's been slipstreamed into my CD and install final when it comes? :blink: You can't uninstall an integrated install of RC2... where would it get its uninstall data from (ie the backed up files to restore to previous state). Just install XP RTM/SP1a and slap on SP2 RC2, that way you can uninstall it and move onto the final version, providing that uninstalling RC2 doesn't cause massive headaches like it does with uninstalling build 2142 (or so i've heard).
