If windows 2003 is in the root then and WinXP is in it's seperate folder, then it sounds like your win51,win51IP, and if sp1 win51IP.SP1(Idents) need to be added to the root as well as in the install folder (parallel to the i386 folder for windows XP). In the root of your disk you should not only have have the idents for windows 2003 (I'm not sure what they are.) but also the ones for XP as well. Ihope that helps.
