I'm preparing to a fresh install of Windows XP Home on a 2nd HD on a Dell
Dimension 4300 machine that was purchased in the fall of 2001. The machine is a
Win ME machine, and the XP CD is an upgrade CD that came with the machine. We
ordered an SP2 CD from Microsoft and it has arrived in the mail (but they didn't
charge shipping that time).
I am getting hints here and there that SP2 can't be used on Win XP versions
manufactured before a certain date, but I don't have a handle on the facts. How
will I know that the Win XP Home CD I have won't work with SP2?
