Thank you Incroyable HULK for your help
I tried the way explained and it worked. But after load some files, it says 'Insert setup disk 2 and press Enter'. How can I overcome this problem? Please help me.
Regards sam

You don’t have necessary ident files on the root (EasyBoot\disk1).
Make sure you have all the three win51, win51ip and/or win51ip.sp2 files in
the root directory.
Notice (extra) different ident files depending to different system.
XP Professional:
Win51ip.sp1 - sp1 ident file
Win51ip.sp2 - sp2 ident file
XP Home:
Win51ic.sp1 - sp1 ident file
Win51ic.sp2 - sp2 ident file
Sorry, I didn’t mentioned ident files in my tutorial, as this is an assumption
to get things working, when running WinXP-setup.
Regards eureka

Thanks eureka
I have inserted the three files u mentioned, but it didn't work. I am not sure wether I am doing the right way.
Here I explain what I have did.
(1) I downloded a file named "WindowsXP-KB310994-SP2-Pro-BootDisk-ENU.exe" from Microsoft website. It contains the following files
makeboot.exe
makebt32.exe
cdboot1.img
..........
..........
cdboot6.img
as u explained i extracted all files from these image files into disk1/i386 folder and run the file "w2ksect.bin"
But i got the following error message
Windows Setup
============
        Please insert the disk labeled Windows XP Professional ServicePack2 CD into Drive A:
       * Press ENTER when ready.
Then i copied the following files into the disk1/i386 folder
WIN51
WIN51IP
win51ip.SP2
Still I got the same error message.
(I tested using vmware)
Is this way is right or something missing?
please help me

eureka, i have just copied the first two images into two seperate floppy disks and boot the pc from floppy disk 1
I have got the message like this
Please insert the disk labeled Windows XP Professional SP2 setup disk #2 into Drive A:
* Press ENTER when ready.
I think something wrong the the way i did
please explain
thanks

I quote: ” You don’t have necessary ident files on the root (EasyBoot\disk1).”
You have copied ident files to the inside of folder i386! You won’t have any use for this inside folder i386.
I repeat, put ident files on the root, witch means EasyBoot\disk1
Like this: EasyBoot\disk1\Ezboot
      EasyBoot\disk1\i386
      EasyBoot\disk1\win51
      EasyBoot\disk1\win51IP
      EasyBoot\disk1\win51ip.SP2

"setup cannot find the End user Licensing Agreement (EULA)

This needs a lot of rework to achieve. In fact, I’m not sure it’s possible? And further more, you won’t win anything with this arrangement. I don’t think it “speeds up” install routines.
I strongly suggest unattended installation (with different chooses of unattended). Or use Ghost (Symantec). Another way to solve this issue of yours could be “universal imaging software” (Symantec ghost).  Link here: http://www.bigbangtraining.com/universal_image.html
This makes it possible to “install” a system witch is designed bye yourself.
I have been testing this imaging on different computers, and YES it really works!!! Except some odd hardware (“Dell workstation”), but as mentioned, this is a very odd machine.
It’s always fun to see people when I use this together with EasyBoot. It’s like “injecting” WinXP to the computer!
Sorry can’t for the moment answer your initial question.
regards eureka
