if you are using a known cdkey that you got off the web or the devils0wn cdkey then you'll have a problem..
did you use a cdk ey from that page?

sp1 blacklisted some keys, most importantly the fck.. one that most people use. also i think they added in some functionality to check your cdkey over windows update in the future so i wouldnt reccomend using any keys you find on the net because they can be blacklisted easily
XP SP1 also added critical updates.
Ex:
Fresh install of XP(non SP1)
windowsupdate.com
you get plenty of critical updates.
------------------------------------------
Fresh install of XP(SP1)
windowsupdate.com
you get few critical updates.
Hope this helps,
As long as you don't use a key that starts with D or F you should be fine. My key starts with M and was able to install SP1 fine. It's not much different. You can search google for a program that searches your computer and develops a key for you that Microsoft will accept based on your hardware. There is also a way to change your current key, which you can find if you search.
