Once you get hold of SP2 I recommend creating a slipstreamed install of XP.

That little bit of software is invaluable.. especially as you can now select components of XP to actually include or discard from the installation.
So, next time you need to do a fresh install, you're a long way down the road before you start.

What's the point of them putting the page up and the "order" button there then? :erm:

:shrug: but the URl its waiting for when you press "order" is oms2.parttest.extranettest.microsoft.com.... too many "test"s in there for my liking at the moment ;)

slipstreaming images is the way forward saves a load of time and seems to be a better safe install all round been doing it since sp2 of win2k and wouldnt use anything else these days.
