Clint Posted August 3, 2005 Share Posted August 3, 2005 (edited) Well, if you ask MS you should be alright...but I wouldn't actually.There has been issues with sp2 in the past...it's just doesnt feel right to me. I would do a new install, and format your drive if you please...no problem. Edited August 3, 2005 by Clint Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
