Are you possibly talking about using another SP1 disk
altogether? Yes. Well yes, then, of course this would work. The problem might be getting one of those disks from the manufacturer. There was never a doubt in my mind that a roll back of SP2 to SP1 could be performed with an SP1 disk - I've deleted all the uninstall directories and done this earlier (I've messed a *lot* with installations :-). The real deal was to *get* this disk from the OEM (if a slipstreamed SP2 disk was supplied originally) which I suspect, they may fuss about. Has anyone tried this? In that case, would there be product key complications, and where could this be procured from. As long as the WinXP SP1 OS is of the same type as the original WinXP SP2 OS installation, there will be no product key complications. I hate to say this, but Carey might be right this time? Nope. No surprises there; we all know it 8-). -- torgeir, Microsoft MVP Scripting and WMI, Porsgrunn Norway Administration scripting examples and an ONLINE version of the 1328 page Scripting Guide: http://www.microsoft.com/technet/scr...r/default.mspx |

The problem might be getting one of those disks from the manufacturer. "Is there anyway to bring down an sp2 machine to sp1? Possibly by reinstalling from xp sp1 cd on top of a sp2 installation?" One would presume that the OP already had access to the SP1 CD, if he was asking whether is could help in downgrading to SP2 to SP1. There was never a doubt in my mind that a roll back of SP2 to SP1 could be performed with an SP1 disk - I've deleted all the uninstall directories and done this earlier (I've messed a *lot* with installations :-). The real deal was to *get* this disk from the OEM (if a slipstreamed SP2 disk was supplied originally) which I suspect, they may fuss about. Has anyone tried this? I don't see that as a relevant question in this thread. But I doubt an OEM would supply any CD media that it is not required to supply. In that case, would there be product key complications, and where could this be procured from.

Q: "Does that not imply that whatever baseline version disk you use will take out all updates & patches released after that version disk ?". A: Only as long as the "uninstall" files for the Service Packs exist. If the Service Pack uninstall files do not exist, as in the case of a slipstreamed version, then the Service Pack cannot be uninstalled. I have actually tried performing a Repair Install using the original RTM Windows XP CD or a Windows XP CD with SP1 after having deleted the SP2 uninstall file directory ( $NTServicePackUinistall$) in Windows Explorer. The only repair install that will work is with a Windows XP CD with SP2 slipstreamed. With a new computer that comes preinstalled with Windows XP SP2, the SP2 uninstall file directory ( $NTServicePackUinistall$) does not exist, therefore SP2 cannot be uninstalled manually or via a repair install using a pre-SP2 Windows XP CD. Are you really that dense? You've got to be lying about actually trying it because I just did it yesterday and so did Torgeir. Clean install from an XP Pro SP2 CD, then a repair install from an XP Pro SP1 CD. No errors, period. Not even a re-activation required. The box is now running XP Pro SP1. Steve |

Come on Carey defend yourself. I can teach you how to swear if you don't know how. I can teach you to be really abusive. I can show you threads by your namesake (who interviewed Doug Knox on some yankee computer radio show with ads on baldness and weight loss) on how to conduct a strategic offensive. I can show you how to humilate people without swearing as well by clinically disecting someone with utter psychobabble. FIGHT!!!! Email me for tips. ROFLMAO! You're too much David! Steve |
