I also had that same problem, but in my case i was trying to install
into a brand new mobo with a SATA controller that had still no support
in XPSP2. The mobo also had an IDE bus where the CDROM was connected.
After i succesfully inserted the SATA drivers it started complaining
about not being able to copy atapi.sys. I googled around and found
somewhere (can't recall where, sorry) some directions to ALSO specify in
unattend.txt in the [MassStorageDrivers] section (needed for the SATA -
and SCSI - stuff) an entry for the atapi cdrom driver. That said, i
added the right stuff and it worked ... maybe if you specify that you
can get your problem solved...
try this on unattend.txt
[MassStorageDrivers]
"IDE CD-ROM (ATAPI 1.2)/PCI IDE Controller" = RETAIL
.. and good luck
