I'm really loosing my mind now simply because i can't use Nero 7 essential,and, i can't find links in downloading easy cd creator... Now have spent almost an hour! Did all steps of slipstreaming but need to burn... that's where am stuck!
 
Use nlite... It will create a bootable ISO with SP3 integrated which you can burn to CD(burn to DVD it's faster)

Could you help with a step-by-step tutorial using nLite please. From the tasks selection what do i select? (already did integrating SP3, just wanna do Bootable CD)
 
+1 for nLite.
Has hundreds of customizations apart from slipstreaming.

@zeb this is where i started and got myself frustrated (Step 5)... I have Nero 7 which doesn't have Burning Rom option or creating Boot disk... And, i spent 30min trying to locate a live link to downloading Eazy CD Creator in vain...

I know what you are tying to do, I have nero7 but nlite creates a bootable image anyway which can easily be burned, it's best to make a new image using nlite it's quick!

To try and make a non-bootable image bootable will be frustrating.

Not sure if this will work (I don't have version 7) but instead of starting Nero StartSmart go to Program files -> Ahead-> Nero and select nero.exe. That'll start Nero Burning Rom and from there you select CD-ROM (Boot)

Close.

For the Nero thing to work correctly you first need to extract the boot record from an existing disk (PowerIso can do this) then use Nero as suggested. Some settings in nero also have to be changed...forgot which though.

He already extracted the boot record with IsoBuster.
 
BTW, is this SP3 also MCE 2005? after doing this slipstreaming can i insert it to my HTPC & update MCE 2005, or is there a specific 1 4 SP3 for MCE
