installing xp vis flash drive - having problems

I just got an asus eee pc and I have been trying to install xp via flash drive using these instructions: http://www.eeeguides.com/2007/11/ins...usb-thumb.html

So far I have gotten up to this:
Extract the files in Bootsect.zip
The next step is to extract USB_prep8 and PeToUSB.
Next copy the PeToUSB executable into the USB_prep8 folder.
Inside of the USB_prep8 folder double click the executable named usb_prep8.cmd.

when I double click, a command prompt opens up, but when I press any key instead of getting this: http://bp2.blogger.com/_tzQM6SAdnNo/...-h/petousb.JPG

I get a list of options. I'm afraid to mess around with these options because I don't want to overwrite my hdd or mess up the xp cd. Does anyone know how to automatically start the window that is depicted in the url above, or of any other way to get xp onto a flash drive? Thanks.
