Sounds like something is missing.
I suggest using nLite to create your CD.
http://www.nliteos.com/nlite.html

Just use the basic features and integrate the Service Pack 3 while you are
at it. It can create an ISO file for you to create a CD from.

How To Ask Questions The Smart Way
http://www.catb.org/~esr/faqs/smart-questions.html

Why don't you just create a copy of your retail CD? Why are you going
through the hassle at the link you provided. That process is used to create
a bootable CD from a non bootable source and is the reason that you are just
arriving at a request to insert a floppy. Your Windows XP OEM CD is not copy
protected so you can launch your favorite third party CD burning software
even if it is CDBurnerXP Pro as listed at the tacktec link. Then use the
Copy CD function. Pop your original disc into the drive, let the software
copy it to the cache, insert the blank disc and let the copy finish. When
done the finished disc should be the same as the original.

Shenan makes a good point in that you could create a slipstream with SP3
integrated using nLite. I've done this many times and it works well. However
you need to know how to properly burn the resulting .ISO file to disc.

Coping the CD doesn't work, have tried with different progarms. the .ISO file
seems the only thing the cd rom drive can read.
