XP slipstream , Windows 2000 upgrade re-visited

now I got another chance to upgrade a windows 2000 PC. this time I need do it right.
the PC is a generic sis chipset based Celeron 3.0GHZ.

I have a Volume licensed XP CD, I slipstreamed to SP3. But the new VL-XP CD wont accept the original keys for some reason.

so I put VL-XP w/sp2 cd in, start the upgrade process, and choose get updates from internet. still no luck, the system keeps rebooting, even if I uninstalled anti-virus, diskkeeper.

in despair, I put the the XP OEM CD (w/sp3), it is all going well.
