See if you can get a copy of the original install CD from whoever built your
system and then download Autostreamer and the SP2 install package. This is
*the* easiest way to do this.

Running the SP2 install by itself isn't going to give you an \i386 folder.
You need to get the files for this elsewhere, and you need the same type as
was originally installed on your system (i.e. home, pro, upgrade, retail,
oem, VL). Once you have the CD, and have slipstreamed, you can just copy
the folder from the burned CD if you feel you need it.
