Hi everyone,
I'm a cradle Windows user who's more interested than ever in getting a Mac as my next computer. I'm an aspiring freelance writer, but because writers don't make much money, I've started to lay the groundwork for running an online business. Once I get some money coming in from that, I'm really looking at buying a laptop to replace my current desktop computer (even though it's a small form factor system less than 3 years old).
The fact that Macs can now run Windows natively is very exciting news because I'm a big gamer, and always loved old-school games from the 80s and 90s that only run on Windows, and one of my aspirations is even to design games as a career.
OK, enough of that. I currently have 2 copies of Windows XP. One is the SP1 CD that came with my current system, so I'll have to include that with it when I sell it. The other is a service pack-less, initial release CD I bought from my university's campus computing store just after XP was released. As a result, I'm not permitted to sell the disc or transfer the license. However, all the tutorials for slipstreaming a Boot Camp-compatible CD I've seen appear to assume the user is working with a SP1 CD. Is there a way to slipstream BOTH service packs onto a CD?
And this probably goes without saying, but I assume the license key supplied with the SP-less copy will work with the slipstreamed one?
Thanks,
Luke
