If your Windows XP is on a System Recovery disk provided by the
computer manufacturer then slipstreaming SP2 into it is almost
certainly not going to work. You have two options:

1. Contact the computer manufacturer to see if they will provide you
with the updated Recovery disk.
2. Create a disk image backup of your current installation using
Acronis True Image or equivalent software.

Good luck
