Instructions for using Boot Camp to install windows XP
on my iMac say the XP version must be with SP-2 and
that installing with SP-1 and upgrading later won't work.
Does anyone know of a work-around for this, i.e., finding
a way to use XP with SP-1 and upgrading to SP-2 or SP-
3 later? Thanx for your help, Walt

Try a Google search of "Slipstream XP" in order to integrate SP2 into your older XP and create a new "SP2" disc.
