Hi,

I have been given a Pentium 4 PC that has the a Windows XP SP2 code sticker on the case for the PC.

I would like to reinstall windows, but I only have a Windows XP SP1 disk.
Or will I need an SP2 disk?

Edit
Just got my hands on SP2

. But most likely will try my SP1 disk first, it is not a major problem for me to download the patches for Windows.

Thanks
