Hello I was wondering if the older XP SP1 cd would work ok for boot camp? Or does it need to be SP2 ? Thanks

If you have access to a Windows PC with a CD burner you could use nLite (http://www.nliteos.com/) to slipstream a SP2 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=049C9DBE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en) or SP3 (http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyID=5B33B5A8-5E76-401F-BE08-1E1555D4F3D4&displaylang=en) Windows install CD.

Needs to be SP2.

You could always slipstream your SP1 copy to SP2. But you need access to a Windows computer to do so.

Should explain how to do it.
