[QUOTE="bobtomay, post: 582026, member: 24160"] And if you'll read the original OP's question.... Which included being "Legal"... Installing an upgrade version onto any machine without a prior version is not "legal" (or within the EULA), regardless of whether it is possible to slipstream SP2 onto a disk that already has SP2 on it, also per his original posting. Am very familiar with slipstreaming SP2, have been doing it for a number of years. Have never heard of anyone trying it with a disk that already had SP2 on it, so I don't really have a clue if that will work or not. And if it is possible, it still doesn't change the fact you're still trying to get around the EULA of the original disk which is that you must own a prior version of windows dedicated to that specific machine.
