How can I do a "repair" or in place upgrade of my XP SP2 system from my
original SP1 CD? I get the message that the files on the computer are newer
than the files on the CD and cannot proceed.
Thanks!

Have you tried the Microsoft Windows Update? Usually if there are newer
files, they will automatically download for you.
