I had installed Win XP sp2 in my system before. Some days ago I formatted my machine and installed Win XP Pro again. But this time I am unable to install SP2. This is happening because of Product key. I used the same Product key as it was in my machine and installed from the disc from which i installed before. Why this is happening?

Can any body help me to install the SP2?
