I have installed a workstation build that was made with service pack 2. I
need to remove the service pack from the workstation. The add remove
programs does not have the service pack listed. A system restore is not an
option and there is no hidden Service pack 2 installation folder. I am
guessing my only option is the registry. Can anyone tell me how I can remove
this service pack and go back to Service Pack1?

regards

You can't.

Why would you want to remove it anyway?

If SP-2 is slipstreamed to the CD, there is no uninstalling SP-2.

Instead start a new thread in an appropriate newsgroup detailing the
problems and someone will probably be able to help.
