XP Got Pre SP2 COA but Only got SP2 CD Help

[bryan]

Hi,

I have a laptop with a genuine XP Pro (Not SP2) COA, but I've lost the
CD, and the only CD I have is for the 2002 SP2 version, and it wont
accept my key, please help. I don't feel I should have to purchase a
new version, just cos I've lost the CD???

Cheers

Bryan

Never tried it but this claims to make a CD of any version of XP ie retail,
OEM etc.
