Hmm, I'll have a try... but I think I'll wait for some weeks till MS
has SP2 for WinXP ready. I hope the recovery CD set will then be
replaced with a new version already containing SP2. So if I really
need it, it will have SP2 integrated and I won't have to install a
bunch of upgrades...

Another question: Is there anything in the HPA that is missing on the
recovery CDs? I remember reading something about license issues with
some or at least one of the preinstalled programs?
