Hi,
I have a problem which I can't solve and would like to
reinstall XP and SP1 from scratch (reformat HD - I have 2 HDs). I saw a lot of info about XP reinstall - what about SP1 - does it have to be downloaded again ?

Thanks,
Vjeko

The best way to do it is to download it and save it to a folder on your desktop and then burn it to a CD-RW that way you will never have to download it again
