Installation Problems

Hi have just managed to get work to purchase a MacBook (Lucky Me) and have used Bootcamp to install Windows. Durring setup I got an error message and unable to proceed with installation. The Mac locked up and I am now having to install all the Mac software again. I have just realised that my XP installation disc is SP1 (I normally update once installed) Is this the problem? Also on pressing the Apple key it would not give me a boot option, is this because of the failed installation. I have genuine XP install disc and a Toshiba ecovery disc with XP with SP2 from my other laptop (the Mac is replacing this I hope) Is there anyway I can install with SP1 or copy files from a machine with SP2 installed. I already own the software and don't want to purchase any more.

Thanks

Andy

 

Fatal Error

Thanks for your help. I have created a sp2 disc using slipstream and information found at http://www.winsupersite.com/showcase/windowsxp_sp2_slipstream.asp

New problem I get a Fatal Error message Manifest Parse Error: Invalid at the top level of the document SXS.DLL syntax error in manifest or policy file

What the hell does this mean and what can I do?

 

Thanks for help, XP is running very well Not able to select boot option on startup despite pressing the Options (Alt Key) I can select boot optionsin preferences though. Anyway round this? Andy
