Slipstreaming Windows XP Service Pack 2 and Create Bootable CD

I saw this article and have tried it, but having issues creating the bootable CD.
http://www.helpwithwindows.com/WindowsXP/winxp-sp2-bootcd.html

I was able to integrate the SP2 files without any issues, I got ISOBUSTER and was ok there too, but these intructions are for Easy CD creator 6, but I have Roxio creator business edition, version 10.1.177

I was able to create the CD, but when I tried to load into a computer with a new hdd (IBM T42 laptop), I got error code 4, unable to boot from CD.

I need to find a way to create this bootable CD with Roxio creator business edition.

I am constantly building laptops and desktop with Windows XP SP1 and then installing XP-SP2, but would like to have this as one bootable CD, so I can save time down the road.

Not only that, but if this works I assume I can install bigger HDD since WXP SP1 only recognizes up to 130GB HDD.

Any ideas on how to do this or anyway I can create an image with XP and SP2 together to build desktops and laptop?

This is what I have done...

 After you install IsoBuster, you can choose to use only the product's free functionality for what we want to do, IsoBuster will look like the image below (you need to have your original Windows XP CD in the CD-ROM drive).

Start to extract the boot loader from the original Windows XP CD. Using IsoBuster, select the "folder" Bootable CD, and right-click Microsoft Corporation.img. From the menu choose Extract Microsoft Corporation.img, and extract it to the folder on your hard drive where you have your Windows XP files (D:\XP-CD in my case).

Let me know if I am missing your question/suggestion.  I must admit I am new to this slipstream and it is my first time ever creating a bootable CD, so you can consider my wet behind the ears on this topic.

I did it exactly as I posted.  I am going to burn another disc and see what happens.
I have a brand new IBM T400 and I will try to use the CD that I created and see what happens.
I will make sure the BIOS on the HDD is set to Compatibility mode instead of ACHI.

This is what I get when I try in a few different IBM laptops
CDBOOT: CANNOT BOOT FROM CD - CODE:4
same message as I was getting before I posted this question.
