I hope my question is relevant to the context of this thread...I know how some forums are sensitive to things like that. My apologies in advance if it is not.

Morph, I read what you were saying about trying to use product keys with a different versions of XP. Do you, or anyone, happen to know what version of XP Professional is distributed by the MSDNAA? I have a valid product key but I don't have the installation cd and I would like to do a clean install. I believe it only had SP1a integrated with it. Is that a factor? Can you use a product key acquired with an SP1a installation cd with an SP2 cd of the same version? Thanks.

No...not really. I would assume that it's a retail version. I believe the keys given to the group have to be activated.

Thanks a lot for the quick reply. I did a little more research after I posted. I think it's in fact VLK version...which I believe people refer to as corporate edition. Thanks for clarifying the SP1a/SP2 thing.
