Be cautious, as Alex's ISO Recorder does not function properly under SP2. If
that is installed, do not use this utility.

Hi

Have you burnt the ISO to a CD to make the CD bootable?

If you followed the directions at the following link, you should be able to
boot with the slipstreamed CD. I've had no problems with using nLite:

Hello,

Make sure that your BIOS is set to boot from your cd drive before your hard
drive. Or else it will never even look to your cd before booting the OS.

Thanks guys. My error was in burning the ISO file as 'Data' and not an 'Image'

He has a beta version on the page which does work in SP2 (but not as yet
in earlier versions). So you need to download the appropriate one
