Elliot000 Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 Hi, I have recently purchased a 24" iMac, my first Mac. I love it and cant believe I didnt move to Mac's sooner. But I am now interested in dual booting, using the boot camp, so that I have access to windows for various reasons. However I have a potential problem. I have 2 legal copies of Windows XP Professional - 1 copy is Windows XP Professional with Service pack 1a - 1 copy is Windows XP Professional with Service pack 2 Now if I understand correctly the Mac (boot camp) requires Windows XP to have at least Service Pack 2 to work? However I have already installed my version which includes service pack 2 onto my other PC therefore the only copy I have left is the copy with service pack 1a which if I am right wont work fully on the Mac? If this is the case is it possible for me to install Windows XP Professional with Service pack 2 but use the key that I have from the Windows XP Professional with Service pack 1a or will this not work? Thanks for any help Elliot Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Styleneed Posted February 22, 2009 Share Posted February 22, 2009 I think you've looked up the wrong forum. This forum is about running Mac OS X on normal PCs. Not Windows on Apple machines. Anyway, yes, those keys would probably work because both are for a Windows XP Professional license - The service pack doesn't matter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
