I really want to play my PC games, and I can't until I find an XP install disc with SP2... or can I? Is there anyway I can install XP with SP1 instead of trying to get my hands on an SP2? I have an a disc with SP2 on it... maybe I can combine the two? Thanks for any and all help!!

If you have an SP1 disc (needs to be a full retail or shop bought OEM for bootcamp), you can slipstream the SP2 update with the SP1 install to create a new XPSP2 disc.

You do need to run the procedure on windows though.

You do this manually but it's easiest download with a tool like nLite

Man that was some great help. Thanks! But now I have no idea how to burn the files and stuff to disc. Any suggestions?
