How do I put an XP SP2 image onto a Vista Business Laptop using Zenworks

I am trying to put an XP SP2 image onto a Vista Business Laptop using Zenworks. The image is being run from a server to the laptop. The image runs until it has done 77% then stops when installing a Service Pack, with a decompresson error. I am in the process of requesting a new disk to be made of the original image, but wondered if it is a problem with the image or zenworks and Vista.

I got a new image sent to me, unfortunately this image had a cyclical redundancy error, when I was checking the disk.
You are correct in saying that the Advanced Host Controller Interface was partly interfering with the install. Switching this to ATA did allow me to put a silent install on the laptop.
Thanks for the assist.
