[QUOTE="MacFanBoy, post: 581377, member: 45225"] The minimum SP2 installation restriction isn't a big deal if you have a friend with a PC running XP and CD-burning software like Nero. All you need to do is copy your outdated XP Install CD to your hard disk, update the copy with SP2, and then burn your now SP2-updated install CD back to a bootable CD-R. There are step-by-step tutorials on the web. The magic word to include in your Google search is "slipstream" -- the integration of patches and service packs into original installation files. XP updates are designed to be slipstreamed, and automated tools like nLite are available to remove or add components to WinXP install images.
