recovery disk use & XP SP1, SP2

#1 Post by calkeith » Wed Apr 11, 2007 6:44 pm

I just used the recovery disks to reload XP to new HDD on my T23. It seems to be just XP Pro. Do I now need to DL the SP1a & SP2 updates OR
will the SP2 cover everything?

Thanks, KC

After the OS installation just run Windows update and everything you need will be installed(eventually :wink: ). You will probably have to run Windows update more then once to get everything.
If you already have sp2 on a cd install it first to save time.

After SP2 - you'll have 80 updates. It would be best to get an autorun SP2 CD they made for North America. Either/ or - you should leave your machine on WU overnight Keith.
