Nice tutorial. I'm normally good at following these sorts of things but I'm having a slight problem. After I install the XP files onto the new drive and it restarts (I take the CD out), it just stops at a blinking insert line... It never gets to the XP boot screen. (When I try it with the CD in and don't press enter, it just hangs after the 5 dots appear on the screen).

I'm on a computer with Vista preinstalled. It came with a second partition already (FAT32) for recovery. I made a another new NTFS partition using Vista and I'm using a slipstreamed XP SP2 CD. I made sure I was installing on this new partition.

The first time it happened, I repaired the MBR and Boot for Vista and had to do a Last Known Good config to get it back up. After that, I checked out bcdedit and it said nothing about ntldr (probably because XP did not successfully start?). Then I tried again and it's still doing the same thing.

Any help would be appreciated: thanks.
