If you're l33t you'll slipstream your installation CD with SP2 files.



Unless of course you have an OEM CD that already has SP2 files on it.

put the windows cd in the drive and restart the computer, it'll say "push any key to boot from disk" when the computer is restarting, it only gives you a second, so push a button as soon as that shows up.



when you're going through the setup it will give you the option to delete partitions, do that, then redo the partitions if you really need them when you get windows set up.
