winxp & winxp sp2 setup clash

[Guest]

I have a winxp sp2 runing on a pc, the problem started when i tried to setup
winxp pro with no saervice pack. Taking in mind that there are 2 partitions
all NTFS on the hard drive.
So, when installing winxp pro by using the bootable cd, an error came up
indicating that I have xp sp2 installed and if i want to continue
installation i must indicate a new path.
That is all fine but it gave me the error and just ended the setup. What is
the solution.

Is your cd OEM, RETAIL or UPGRADE?

Why are you doing this?

You could try making an XP CD with SP2 slipstreamed into it.
