9 in 1? Sounds like crap why not download it from Microsoft. Or do you want to slipstream your cd with the latest patches?

lol, wtf are you talking about Confused

I advice you to take a look at the corresponding Microsoft KB article (i'm can't be arsed to give a link atm Razz

) on how to slipstream single updates yourself. No bugs at all, if you do it by the book.

I have the 9-in-1 cd of both Windows XP and Windows Server 2003 and I like them both. I don't see what you would want with nine different OS'ses on one cd but they work perfectly well Smile

Ok, Is it possible to just upgrade to SP2 with this 9 in 1 disc??? I already have Windows XP installed but want to upgrade to SP2 as currently Im running on the standard XP installation (No updates) and people are saying I should upgrade .. I noticed when I chose one of the XP installations it said on a drop down menu - Upgrade and Full installation.... So Im guessing if I chose upgrade it should save all my stuff and just upgrade me to SP2? Also, how do I know which version of XP I have? the list says something like - XP Corp, XP Retail, XP OEM, XP Upgraded thanks George W Bush - '...more and more of our imports are coming from overseas.'

Steve, just run Windows Update and install all the updates including SP2. No need for any other discs, reinstalls etc.
