You wouldn't need SP1. If you have a XP boot CD you can actually make a XP
Boot CD with SP2 slipstreamed so that when you reinstall XP, SP2 is
automatically installed. Not that hard to do, all's you need is your XP
boot disc, SP2, IsoBuster (or something similar) and Nero (or something
similar).

I would think we only need ths 2nd one. They claim it has everything - for
people who never updated their computer's before -
but I am not absolutely positive. just logically speaking -

I if I had a computer crash, (hope not again), would I have to install all
of sp1 and then sp2? If so, Can I still order a CD for sp1 and where would
I order it. With my new computer a few months ago, it took awhile to update
all the sp1 stuff espcially because I was on dial up.
