Hi me,

Perhaps you should consider creating a bootable, slipstreamed install CD.
You could follow the instructions here:

Slipstreamed Windows XP CD Using SP2

(or do a web search for slipstreaming instructions, as plenty of them abound!)

Also, many people seem pleased with having used autostreamer to slipstream:
