Hello, 
Agree with the other poster, you should slipstream SP2 "no need for SP1".
A link with "how to" and a link to download a free slipstream program .

Unless you downloaded and saved the post SP2 security updates as free- 
standing .exe files, which look like "windowsxp-kb"file number"-x86-enu.exe", 
you will need to download and install everything after SP2.
wish you well with your endeavor.
take care.
beamish.
