Changing windows key on SP1
Ok..my friend just reformated his computer and has SP1 on it. When we go to windows update, He cannot get SP2 because his key isnt good. So how can i change his SP1 key? Is there a SP1 keygen anywhere that would give me a good key to where I could get SP2? Or should I just download SP2 from somewhere else?
Also, the CD I use to install Windows only has sp1. Is there an easy way to copy over SP2 to the cd files and burn a new one?

You can download SP2 here...
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sp2/default.mspx
It's meant for network installation by IT pros on a number of PCs but does work on stand alone PCs.

u can use the magical jelly bean keyfinder/changer. however, you need a good key to replace it with. http://www.magicaljellybean.com/keyfinder.shtml

Before pressing 'Custom' or 'Express' buttons paste this text to the address bar and press enter:
Code:
javascript:void(window.g_sDisableWGACheck='all')

Can you not just make a slipstreamed cd w/sp2 still ? That is so easy to do by the way.

Or order on line for next time ?

Learn to read then. You havn't even looked at it. It's a simple program, you browse to where your Windows CD is, browse to where your SP2 file is that you got from MS and click next. If you cannot be assed to have a go at that then why should other people go out of there way to help you?
