Hi,
 

Thank you for your post!  I would suggest posting your question in one of the Windows Client TechCenter > Windows XP IT Pro Forums > Windows XP Service Pack 3 (SP3)  located here:  http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/itproxpsp/threads.

Have a great day!

Thanks,

Strange think is... i just solved it.
When he asked for the Windows Professional CD I had to put in a Windows Home SP2 slipstream SP3 it worked.
and after a few minutes he asked for a Windows Home CD so I put the original home SP2 CD in and it works.
