Dave,
You've got me there. How do I "slip-stream" SP2 along with the CD of WinXP
SP1? Thanks.

Let us assume that an i386 directory does NOT exist on the hard disk. Copy the directory
tree i386 off of the WinXP CDROM to the root of drive "C:" ( c:\i386 ) .
Download the FULL WinXP SP2 executable...
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...be-3b8e-4f30-8245-9e368d3cdb5a&DisplayLang=en
When you have the ~266MB EXE file (such as WinXP-SP2.exe ) execute it with the following
switch parameters...
-u -s:c:\ (e.g., WinXP-SP2.exe -u -s:c:\ )
That will slip-stream the c:\i386 directory with WinXP SP2.
You can then burn a bootable CDROM with the C:\i386
However, I have yet to make a bootable WinXP CDROM so my knowledge falls oof there.
You could download the WinXP Floppy disk set...

Just make sure you select "repair a system" when you actually run the WinXP installation
process.

Dave,
Someone else suggested that I purchase XP Pro w/SP2 Upgrade (price from
Insight is $80 +shipping). They thought that this upgrade version should
install & keep my data/files intact. I guess the rationale is that XP Pro is
an upgrade from the XP version. Do you think that this will work? Thanks.

There is a very good guide at the Microsoft Software Forum Network on
how to do this. It will require access to a clean computer to make the
CD though. http://unattended.msfn.org/
