But it is asking for SP 1. Do you think it will accept
the SP2 CD?

I have a problem installing XP on my desktop machine using my original

was not downloadable on my laptop using the MS online site. There is
a small exe file there that
is related to SP 1. My laptop OS doesn't need it since it has SP 2 so
it doesn't
end up downloading anything. I may have to reinstall the desktop
since I used the laptop's complete XP CD that had SP 1 and SP 2 and
the activation isn't taking it for the original CD.
Does anyone have any suggestions for this?
For more information, during the install, it asks for a SP 1 CD and
won't go any
further without one.
You could try slipstreaming SP2 and your original CD.
