The CD with XP SP2 included in it will not accept your original XP key code.
You have to have an XP SP2 keycode if you are going to install the XP SP2
CD.

Yes this is a huge pain especially for us because we have purchased over 100
computer since XP has come out. Some no SP, some SP1, SP1a, and SP2. I
would really like to take advantage of some of the automatic install
features MS has like remote installations services, but I have to have a
different XP image for each key code that I have.
