I apologise if this is a very old question. I had a 20 minute look through the forum, but there are many, many threads, and only found one thread that [only] seemed to answer my specific question.

I have an Intel iMac and want to install XP - both bootcamp and Paralells. All the information that I have seen says that I need XP SP2. I have only an official MS XP 1 full install on CD, official MS XP SP2 upgrade on CD. Have I understood correctly that I must create an XP SP2 CD (using Autostream [whatever that is]), or is there a way that I can install the original XP and immediately upgrade to SP2 all within bootcamp?

Many thanks,
Iain.
