    I'm new, but I have 1st hand knowledge on this issue. Your original Win
    XP CD is useless. Contact Microsoft by email and they will send you a
    free Win XP CD which is already updated with SP2. That is what they did
    for me several months ago. According to Microsoft, I was the 1st person
    to report this problem at the time.

    The downside to M$ Win XP SP2 is that some of your old hardware will no
    longer work. This has been well documented.
