You need a Windows XP CD with SP2 integrated. It also needs to be a non-branded OEM or retail copy. In addition, that copy can not have been installed on another computer.

If you have a Windows XP disc that meets those criteria, but does not have SP2 integrated, you can follow this tutorial to create a "slipstreamed" disc that will do the trick.
