Martin over at I Am Not A Geek has posted a follow up article to his Windows XP SP2 Bootable Install CD ! called Windows XP - Driver + Install basics! Here's a snip.
After slipstreaming my SP2 CD I decided to take things a bit further and be able to automate my installation. Microsoft has everything setup so that you can automate the install process for Windows.

First of all copy all of the contents of your windows CD to C:winxp after this is completed download this program. This is the easiest way to create the file(s) that you'll be needing. This helps automate a lot of the install process. Ignore the tweaks part cause I won't be covering that in this article.
Open up winntsif.exe found in this file. (You'll need to have the .net framework installed on your system). Expand the Configuration section like this;
