Just download it, and burn it to a CD, Get up to the same place where you were before, then insert the CD

You could slipstream sp2 onto a disk with your original xp cd.

Use this site by Paul Thurrott. He will show you everything you need to do to slipstream them together

I do not have an original XP Disc. I just use the file 'winnt32.exe' in my i386 folder which is the installation file.

I finaly got it to install, but i was wondering why it tells me 'You have 27 Days to activate Windows?' i was wondering if WIndows take any of your details during this or is there a way to bypass it?
