Dell Windows XP CD
I have a Dell computer that came with XP SP-1 and so that is on the Dell Windows CD. Can I use a Dell Windows XP SP2 CD that came with a newer computer to reinstall or repair windows on the older computer that originally came with SP1 only? I just want to save having to do all those updates after.
Thanks, Brenda

I don't THINK activation will be an issue if you use any XP CD on a pc that has already been activated. The slipstreamed XP SP2 CD that I created has worked on both of my pcs.oldtraveler
