Making Windows XP SP 2 Combied Bootable?

Hi,

I've combined my Windows XP and SP 2 following instructions from "How to
integrate Windows XP Service Pack 2 files into the Windows XP installation
folder" at http://support.microsoft.com/kb/900871/ and have used it many
times from the "Instillation Folder".

However, it happens more often then not that I need to do a total reinstall
from booting on a CD. I've put this Windows XP SP 2 combined onto CD but it
is not bootable.

I am hoping that some here may know of a way to make this combining
"Bootable" from a CD? If someone does I'd really appreciate finding out how
to do this. Thank you.

John
