I have used AutoStreamer and it is very easy to use and
free. You can use your XP Pro CD and the downloaded SP2 (IT
version 266 MB) to create an ISO image and then use your CD
burning tool to make a bootable CD. I use Roxio, if I right
click on the ISO file I get the option to "burn a CD" and
that is bootable and finalized.
