Thanks, Gman.
I have a WinXP Pro w/ SP1 CD and a WinXP sP2 CD. So I must've done the
original installation using WinXP Pro w/ SP1.
I can't find any instructions to slipstream SP2 using an SP2 CD (most assume
SP2 was downloaded). So if you could provide instructions, thanks.
Incidentally, I'll use Roxio Easy CD Creator 5.
Thanks again.
Dan
