I have an original XP disk, i'd rather not havae to go through and slipstream the disk; i know apple says you need SP2, but is that just to help avoid minor problems, or do you REALLY need it?

I'm not sure of the problem but to the OP this is an example of what can happen if you use a SP1 disc. The drivers will not install.
It IS possible to use SP1 and install the drivers. I did it 😛 but it takes some hacking around in Windows and such. But basically, use an SP2 disk to keep yourself sane.
