But perhaps try to 'repair' your XP installation by booting from the CD and following the install process. You probably know the drill. You can also slip-stream SP1 into your Windws XP CD and build a new one. You can upgrade to SP1 from the XP installation, rather than trying to install it from Windows.

I don't expect there will be any substantial changes in the final release version to impact this tutorial, but I strongly suggest you not use this slipstreamed CD in any production or mission critical environment or anywhere you cannot recover from unexpected data loss. Tutorial will be updated after the final SP3 version is released. Building Directories The first step is to build a directory structure to hold the files that will be used in the CD creation process.
