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 to slipstream a SP2 or SP3 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.
