Has anyone got a surplus Windows XP home SP1 disk? I don't need a product key.

Do you just need the service pack or the OS itself?

Have you tried using a SP2 disk... It will probably make no difference what you use as long as it can find the files.

I haven't tried an SP2 disk but it won't install SP2 from download.
