In a short while I plan to install a new hard drive in my computer, (other one full and starting to make the odd ominous sound). I want to reinstall Win XP pro but my disk doesn' have SP1 or SP2 or the million patches hot fixes.

How do I go about creating a fresh XP disk using my existing XP discwhich has all the sp's etc. on?

Surely the must be a freeish app that does this?

If you google 'xp sp2 slipstream' you should get loads of relevant stuff, this one looks on the ball for your purposes:

Get yourself a copy of nLite - easiest way to build a custom XP disk by far

Or just clone your existing HDD to the new one...
