XP Pro SP2

Purely by looking at the file contents of an Xp Pro CD is there a way
to spot if it includes SP1 or SP2?

Does SP2 include everything SP1 does? IE would I need to install SP1
then SP2 or just ignore sp1 and go to sp2?

Okay,insert the CD and just go through the 'Readme' file.There you will
find necessary information.

Very easy.
It will be clearly printed on your CD.

It will be printed right on the Genuine Microsoft Windows XP CD itself.

Is Your Copy of Windows XP Genuine?
