if you already have sp2 integrated, you could use a program like CDIMAGE.exe
to create a bootable ISO. which you could then test with VPC or VMWARE before
burrning.
or if you already have sp2 integrated, create a bootable CD with CD burning
software.
the following is from :
http://club.cdfreaks.com/lite/t-103629-p-2.html
Now, the procedure!
1.) Make a subdirectory on your hard drive and call it XP-SP2.
2.) Copy the contents of your XP disk into that subdirectory, write down
your Volume Label.
3.) If XPSP2.exe is in your root directory (C:\), make an administrative
(network) install of the service pack by typing:"XPSP2.exe
/integrate:C:\XP-SP2\" either from a command prompt or using start->run in
Windows.
This one command expands the service pack to a temporary directory and
updates the contents of the C:\XP-SP2 subdirectory to SP2. Believe it or not
it’s really done now and it's just a matter of simply making a bootable CD
with the files from C:\XP-SP2\ . Now would be a good time to add any files
that you want to included on your disk by making an additional subdirectory
containing your files in C:\XP-SP2. However, keep in mind that the end
product will have to be small enough to fit on a CD, unless your really make
a pig of yourself and make a bootable DVD. There are two ways to go from
here. The easy way and the hard way.
You may wish to clear the read only and hidden attributes in C:\XP-SP2
subdirectory by typing from a command prompt: attrib -R -H C:\XP-SP2 /S /D .
This somewhat optional.
First the easy way:
4e.) Put cdimage.exe and the xpboot.img (you may have to rename it) file
that you extracted or downloaded in your root (C:\) directory and type from a
command prompt:
CDIMAGE.EXE -lWXPFPP_EN -h -j1 -m -o -bxpboot.img C:\XP-SP2 C:\XPSP2.ISO.
5e.) Burn the ISO image in C:\ with the appropriate software; done!
Step 4e.) assumes that your volume label that you wrote down in step 2 was
WXPFPP_EN for Windows XP Professional English. You will have to change this
statement to reflect your actual volume label, such as WXPVOL_EN for Windows
XP Professional Corporate (VLK) edition, WXHFPP_EN is XP Home English
edition, etc. It is advisable that you type: cdimage.exe >cdimage.txt from a
command prompt and then read the cdimage.txt file for the various options
available in the cdimage.exe program. For example the -o option may not be
necessary if you are not short of space.
The hard way:
04h.) Use a burning program such as Nero and select "Make Bootable Disc."
05h.) Under the boot tab in Nero select image file and point to the boot
loader file xpboot.img.
06h.) Under the boot tab select "Enable Expert settings."
07h.) Kind of Emulation select "No Emulation."
08h.) Boot Message: (whatever you want, or make it blank.)
09h.) Load segment of sectors (hex): 07C0 (true for all WINtel X86
computers).
10h.) Number of loaded sectors: 4 (remember the boot loader is 4 X 512 byte
sectors).
11h.) Under the Label tab type in your correct Volume Label.
12h.) Under the Burn tab, select write, finalize CD (no further writing
possible!)
13h.) Select New, add the files from the C:\XP-SP2 subdirectory and burn the
CD, done!
