Installing XP SP0 on MacBook Pro 13'
Alex Miller
documentation says that Windows XP Service Pack 2 and later are
supported. However, I only own the original XP CD (before Service
Packs). Does anyone know if I will be able to install this old XP and
then update it? What do I need for it? I tried searching for this
information online but without much luck.

You can slipstream SP2 using his method:

(If your original XP CD is at SP1a, you can slipstream a new one with SP3
using the same method. )
You then use the slipstreamed CD to install XP on your MacBook.

The easiest way to to borrow a copy of XP with SP2 and load that. You
just use the serial etc from your original XP disk and it will work fine.

If you cannot get hold of an SP2 installation CD you'd have to
"slipstream" SP2 into the original XP SP0 disk - you'd have to google
that for instructions, I avoid Windows as far as I can (which is not
always unfortunately).
While you'r at it - get SP3 if you can, it's a free download.
