It's all explained and shown in the 4 part Microsoft article that I refered to in my fist post( http://support.microsoft.com/kb/894947/ ), read it and you will be able to do it, it's really not difficult to do.

Slipstream Service Pack 2 to your Windows CD. It's not difficult and you will not need to install SP2 after you do the repair installation.
