i decided to install windows on my mac for ms, but i only have windows sp1, and it is not supported, so anyway i need to slipstream windows sp2 onto my disc, or another way to play ms would be appreciated

Do you have access to a Windows computer..? As far as I know you're caught in a classic "Catch-22" because the only means I know of to create a slipstreamed disk with both the Windows Installation, SP1, and SP2 is to do it on a Windows computer. (There might be a Mac utility to do it, but I sure wouldn't bet on it.) There might also be a Linux procedure that might run under OSX, but that's way out of my experience range. On a Windows PC, slipstreaming is fairly straightforward, although not a particularly simple or enjoyable thing to do. Sort of like in the middle of the "going to the dentist" type of fun things to do on an afternoon. There are quite a few websites with reasonably complete writeups detailing how to do it, including this one: http://ubcd4win.com/slipstream.htm
