Preferred by whom? Please cite your source.
The desired method is a repair install to keep all that's already done with the OS, 3rd party apps, etc. for most folks.

A repair with a XP SP1 installation CD of an XP SP2 install is not possible.
Incorrect. Of course, SP2 would subsequently have to be reinstalled.
