XP Pro upgrade path

[Excavator]

I have XP Pro bought and paid for. It is the original without SP1 or SP2.
Every time I format/re-install I have to install SP2 afterwards.

--Does MS offer an XP disk with SP2 on it at a discounted price for XP owners or do I have to make my own slipstreamed disk?

Don't know if they offer one but making a slipstreamed disk isn't all that hard.

Get Autostreamer. It's an easy to use piece of freeware that makes slipstreaming a no-brainer. :)
Look here. (http://www.autopatcher.com/autostreamer.html)

Yes, found autostreamer and also a step by step here (http://www.windows-help.net/WindowsXP/winxp-sp2-bootcd.html)
