Creating Windows XP SP 3 Disk

[SeniorMoments]

I attempted to create a Windows XP PRO SP3 disk per the instructions in the GUIDE section of this forum.

Everything went exactly as posted. No errors, no problems.

But, when I try to use the new disk to build a new Windows XP Pro system, the computer goes all the way through the "loading windows" process. And, right after it announces "STARTING WINDOWS", the computer blue-screens. My SP3 disk is not, of course, useable. Any ideas what went wrong???

My regular Windows XP Pro SP2 disk works just fine. That's the one from which I copied the files.

 

Please comment/help.

What does it say in the blue screen? I mean the error code(s).
