[QUOTE="alwaysMac, post: 1509596, member: 214928"] A number of Mac users here are happy using Parallels and XP and it was mentioned that they used XP with at least SP2. My question is can a XP installation disk (without any SP) be used instead and after installation, let Windows downloads the SPs and whatever patches it needs? I am trying to avoid getting another copy of XP, but with SP2 or 3, just for this purpose of running Windows on my iMac. I need to work on this soon as my PC is getting very unstable and I may have to rely on just the iMac. Thank you. [/QUOTE]
