Wayne the reason I originally asked is because when I needed to do a
re-install after a system crash a friend loaned me an XP Pro disk that he
had slipstreamed using SP2. His original copy was a retail one that already
had SP1 included when he purchased it.
When I tried to use it my original serial would not work. I don't know if
this was a mistake in the making of the disk or not.
In any event I used my original disk to do the install and just updated
with SP2 as I had downloaded it when it was first was released.
It just makes me wonder why my original key did not work with his
copy. Thanks to all who have responded.
