Yes, you have to burn a special CD.
If you so choose you cal also preinstall SP3, IE, and a whole lot of 
other things.

It is a pain, but after all, you are working with 'legacy' software that 
MS can't bother to update when you install XP.

I suggested nlite because it can actually be simple - given that you can 
find a burner.
