Using MS BDD is the approved method, one can also find the old ximage.exe to mount the old format and slice and dice a longhorn setup to achive this.

I'm doing something similar now.

I wound up looking at how the early longhorn builds were converted (by members here and elsewere) to use the i386 dist folder and winnt.sif for ua setup, this helped me to uderstand more possibilities. Suggest you google winflp and check out the old winfx runtimes also.

Business Desktop Deployment 2007 (not version 4.0) supports XP by default - in that, you can create a custom XP cd that uses WinPE 2.0. Unfortunately, you do have to do some digging to try and get it all working (as of yet, I've not been able to do so).
