Probably too late now but you would have been better off to create a new XP CD slipstreamed
with SP2 then used it to do the install. In case your interested, here is the info
on how to do this:
The simplest way to create a Bootable Windows XP Pro or Home Installation CD Slipstreamed
with SP2 is to use Autostreamer. You point to your XP Pro CD, the SP2 Service Pack
.exe file, give it a path to write the .iso file to and off it goes.
In 5 or 10 minutes you have a .iso file that you can burn to CD with almost any CD
burner program you want to use. I used Roxio 7. The you install using the new CD.
Here is the link to Autostreamer:

You can download the SP2 .exe here:

If not interested, you can still use the above link to download SP2.
