You can slipstream SP2 into a pirated copy of XP. The cd key has nothing
to
do with it.



Does SP2 indeed verify legit key? Please define a "pirated" copy of an
XP CD than if indeed the key is not a factor? It would just make it a
backup copy than no? What defines a "pirated" copy/install is the use of
an illegal key to install yes/no? A slipstream requires an install
CD......
Matter of symantecs I suppose.

I slipped sp2 into a copy of xp 2002
it didn't ask for proof of purchase
it didn't ask for any keys or numbers
it simply made me a new .ISO which I burnt onto new blank CD
anybody on this list could use it ... with my key, their key, your key,
bluebirds key.


Sure, but SP2 has a huge list of hacked keys, none of which will be
accepted during installation.

So yes, you can slipstream it, but no you can't install the resulting CD
if you have a hacked key.
