    nope, don't think so.

    I had a slip streamed one with a beta sp2. Didn't pose a problem in itself till I tried to install directx 9.0c from 9.0b. So either you can format and reinstall from the orginal winxp disk, or install new SP2 over it, there a warning against this but haven't had any trouble...yet http://board.iexbeta.com/lofiversion/index.php/t47736.html. Made a few assumptions there about why you want to install it but, meh.

    It's retail SP2 - main problems are compatability issues with games :/

    You dont need to format.. just do a repair with older XP disk and it will set it to then and you keep your info.. not 100%, windows will be windows but should work fine!

    If she's slipstreamed you can't uninstall. What compatability issues have you got?
