What you should hopefully end up with is an exact copy of the dell xp disk with the dell validating routine, plus your sata drivers to allow you to install.
As an aside, i have just found some other information that might be useful. There are articles that state that slipstreaming XP on a vista machine does not work properly and will give you problems with the cd key not being recognised.
