Default SP2 Remove

Hi Ken,

I have an old computer and I want to wipe the hard drive so that I may
resinstall xp afresh. The problem is the computer is running a newer version
of the windows than the setup disk i have. It keeps telling me it can't
install because the windows on the computer is newer than the windows on the
disk. I have tried to boot this cd from reboot and this doesn't work either.
Someone else told me the problem may because of sp2 and I thought if I
removed this, then I could run the older setup disk!
Can yopu help?

Why do you "need" to do this? It's a very bad thing to do.
