Carey, that is wrong, a Repair Install with a SP1 Windows XP CD

Please note that a Repair Install from the Original install XP CD
will remove SP1/SP2 and service packs will need to be reapplied.

Have you ever tried? I don't aggree with you base on my
experience.
Hi,

Yes, I have tried it, and it works fine (read the rest of the posts
in this thread).

But note that you *must* boot on the WinXP SP1 CD, you can not insert
the WinXP SP1 CD on a running WinXP SP2 installation and select
"Install Windows XP", that will give you the error message "Setup
cannot continue because the version of Windows on your computer is
newer than the version on the CD."
