I have done a partition using boot camp. I insert my XP SP-2 CD and wait until it is mounted, then I start installation. An error message comes up saying it can not find installation disc. However, I can few all files on CD, and even install windows on my PC.

However, when I put in my brothers SP-1 disc in it goes to install windows no problems. Will there be any problems with installing SP-1? If so, can anyone help me with my SP-2 Disc problem? i have reburned it onto another disk to make sure it is a clean disc to stop reading errors - still no go. I have rebooted mac, still no go

My user has admin access, and i have just installed Leopard and have done all updates etc.

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks

My suggestion is to get a trial key for a virtual machine. Install SP 1 that and then use nLite to slipstream it to SP 2.

Note: You don't need to activate Windows XP for 30 days. I installed my copy of XP Pro into a VM and slipstreamed it to SP 2. After that I just burned my installer and destroyed the virtual machine.
