[QUOTE="cwa107, post: 1509611, member: 24098"] I'll second that. The recommendation of using a Windows XP disc with SP2 or later is more related to Boot Camp (which required SP2 in order for the keyboard to work in early stages of the install). Parallels, VMWare, VirtualBox, etc. should install fine with an earlier disc, however, slipstreaming SP3 is simple and avoids a lot of unnecessary patching, tweaking and time spent once you finish your install.
