Slipstreaming problem: won't boot, NTLDR not found

I have now tried twice to create a bootable slipstreamed Win 2000 +
SP4 CD. Both times the CD appeared fine but was not bootable. My PC
tries to boot from the CD but complains that "NTLDR" is not found,
whatever that means.

The references I used are:
http://www.duspinnst.com/bootcd.htm (my 1st attempt)
http://tacktech.com/display.cfm?ttid=277 (2nd attempt)

I wonder if my Nero (5.5.6.4 OEM) is an issue - on the ISO tab, I am
supposed to click 3 checkboxes, but my Nero only has 2... "Do not add
the ;1 ISO file version extension" is missing. Apart from that I think
I followed the instructions exactly.

N.B. On attempt 1, I used the BBIE tool to get the boot image from the
old W2K SP1 CD. On attempt 2, I downoaded w2kboot.bin from the site,
and was careful to ensure I had the CDROM_NT.5, CDROM_IP.5,
CDROMSP4.TST files (the other web site didn't really mention this).

Can anyone help me out please?

Thanks in advance
 
OK, I solved the problem by updating to the latest version of Nero
5.5, which is 5.5.10.something. This version has the 3rd check box on
the ISO tab. I burned the CD again and it boots!
