Windows XP SP2 CD...

[barcaroller]

I have an original Windows XP CD from 2001. I have since upgraded my
desktop by downloading/installing SP2. There are some systems however (e.g.
BootCamp) that require a Windows XP SP2 CD; i.e. SP2 has to be on the CD. I
cannot just use the Windows XP CD and then download/install SP2.

Is there a way I can burn my own CD with Windows XP and SP2 on it. Or can I
get my original Windows XP CD replaced by Microsoft?

Yes, called slipstreaming. Autostreamer makes it easier.

Just curious - Boot Camp is used to "prepare" a Mac computer to run Windows.
Evidently you have a Mac in addition to the XP computer? - If not what's
with Boot Camp?
