not sure, but I know for sure I wouldn't even install sp2 period, at least not untill it's out of it's beta stage...

As long as the key isnt blacklisted, you will be alright.

yes you can install SP2 without installing SP1...i know becuase ive tried it

BUT if you want to do that to get around having to change your key, then that aint gonna work, it blocks the same ones as SP1 did. to change ur key i recomend the Mr. Dude keychanger.

If you have a good version of SP2 you don't need SP1.
The second pack includes all of the info from the first with some additions.

You too can have a "Security Center"....

Its always a good idea to generate an unique key with something like the bluelists recoverer discoverer. This way you dont have to worry about service packs blocking the OS.

IMO you should NEVER install a beta SP
