Just a simple question, I am about to re-format in a few days and at the moment im just downloading all updated software etc to backup so I can get a nice install with current up to date software.

\*\*  
Anyway my main question is;\*\* After installing XP Pro and I goto install the Service Packs, do I need to install service pack 1 or is service pack 1 included in service pack 2?

\*\*Cheers Ben \*\*:q:
