Something's not right. Only the Media edition of Windows XP is too large to fit on a normal CD and ships on two CDs. I don't know what you downloaded from MSDN, but it appears it's not a full install version or either XP Home SP2 or Pro SP2. Are you sure you didn't download a server version or Vista instead?

Regards.
