I am currently trying to install a copy of windows onto my Macbook. The copy
of XP SP1 installed fine but the SP2 upgrade CD doesn't work and none of the
mac drivers can be installed until it is running on SP2.
I searched through my Microsoft Action Pack but cannot find any copies of
Windows XP with SP2 just the separate upgrade CDs, and these seem to crash on
the installer when I try them. So I have brought over my personal copy of Win
XP with SP2 from home but on entering the product keys that come with the
work copies of Windows XP Pro (original) or Windows XP Pro with SP1 I am
receiving the invalid product key error.
Should I be able to install Windows XP with SP2 using a Windows XP with SP1
product key? If not how can I obtain a product key that will work with out
purchasing a new one (given that I have loads of XP and SP1 keys that are
currently unused)
