I see no reason you wouldn't be able to, but if I were you, I would
download and SAVE SP2 from the link below and then put it on CD. Then you
can remove the download.
Service Pack 2 For XP
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...BE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en
Might as well get SP3 on another CD just to have around. Ant reason you
don't want/have it now? FYI: If your installation disk is for SP1a, you
can go directly to SP3 when reinstalling.

Why "another CD"? They both fit on a single CD.

Man, this group is just troll heaven. You've apparently got nothing
intelligent to post to any thread you have posted in this group, so you
just troll other's replies to make idiotic comments. At least you keep
reader's kill-files active.....

I guess it keeps trolls like you busy too by replying to posts that have

Any REAL MVP wouldn't be responding to these types of posts. Or is it
because you're no longer an MVP, you're reaching for your real dream?
So who is the troll here?
(added so you could see the humor...)

I agree with bruce.
having each update file or
each program no matter
how small they are (except
for ubiquitous freeware)
on separate cd's simply
makes things involving
the o.s. more manageable.
better yet is to make
slipstreams which makes
executing a "repair" install
convenient in the future.

Oh sure it does, if you enjoy hauling around several dozen CD's to do your
work, and constantly shuffling those buggers into and out of the drive makes
sense if you're getting paid by the hour, especially when one of them may be
dependant on several of the others.
Again, fuggin' brilliant.

Yes, but you won't be able to use Windows Update (or Automatic Updates)
unless & until SP3 is installed.
Note: Extended Support for WinXP (x86) SP2 ends on 13 July 2010. After that
date, computers running WinXP (x86) SP2 will NOT be offered any further
critical security updates, Automatic Updates will not work, and Windows
Update website will not be accessible until SP3 is installed.
What does it mean if my version of Windows is no longer supported?

yes, I can understand your
logic and position.
there are many of us that
have certain luxuries and
then there are those that
do not.
but I never bash anyone
for posting their preferred
methodologies,
because the method you
proposed may actually be
utilized by the o.p.

Good point.
Then again, using that analogy, one should put several installers on one
CD (Greg's idea) and make at least one copy of that CD (your idea).
