Tarun Posted June 27, 2007 Share Posted June 27, 2007 Your CD should tell you if it has SP2 or not. If it does not you can easily get it here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IcemanND Posted June 28, 2007 Share Posted June 28, 2007 follow the unattended guide at least through the integrating of service pack 2, you can go further if desired but not required. The resulting cd will work for a "bona fide" XP SP2 cd as far as boot camp is concerned. You don't have to have one made by Microsoft, just one that has SP2 integrated into it. I used my XP cd from the original release, (What 6 years ago now?), after integrating SP2 it works fine. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
