Make a cd with SP2 slipstreamed into XP (you don't need to worry about
SP1 if you have SP2 - SP1 is included in SP2).

Tony:
In addition to the sites Malke pointed you to, take at a look at
http://www.webtree.ca/windowsxp/slipstream.htm which has step-by-step
instructions for using the (freebie) Autostreamer program to create a
slipstreamed version of XP. It's a neat program and relatively easy to use
to do what you want.
