Windows XP SP2 disc

#1 Post by Meta03 » Tue Mar 17, 2009 12:14 pm

I am looking for a Windows XP SP2 disc ONLY. I have the original version of XP with a valid number, so I don't need another COA number, or any other back up discs.
I want to be able to install Windows XP on a 320GB drive and heard it was possible with an SP2 version of XP.
Any idea where Windows backup discs without COA keys are to be found?

You can make you own by slipstreaming SP2 with XP onto a new disc.

When you are done, make another disk where you also add XP3. It's what I use...

Is there a free program (instead of expensive Nero, or Roxio) I can use to make a bootable CD?
