[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 559551, member: 24098"] Yes, if you have access to a Windows machine with a CD burner, you can "slipstream" SP2 and create a new disc. Just remember that your Windows disc must meet the following criteria: 1. It must not have been installed on another computer that is in active use (because of product activation). 2. It must not be an OEM-branded disc (Dell, Gateway, HP/Compaq and other discs with an OEM logo on them are created specifically for their respective machines). A non-branded OEM disc should work, however. 3. If it's a retail disc, it must not be an "upgrade" edition - it has to be the full version. So, if your other disc meets those criteria, see [URL="http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2_slipstream.asp"]this site[/URL] for instructions on how to create a new disc containing SP2, using that one.
