Re: Reinstall windows SP2 sticker - SP1 disk - Will it work?
I'd be more inclined to slipstream an Sp3 disk & use that - not sure if it's been proven, but the cleanest possible install seems to be with a SP3 disk, followed immediately (updates off) by IE8 & WMP11, then allow Windowsupdate to do it's thing (as IE8 & WMP11 render a pile of other updates obsolete).

I think the change in SP3, was that you could install and put the code in later - though any SP accepted any valid code
