Does this mean I've reinstalled this so many times for nothing?
"SP1 eliminates the need to reinstall the service pack after installing new system components or devices."


 
Yes. When you install the service pack, it will copy over the i386 folder on the service pack CD to a folder in the %SYSTEMROOT%\Service Pack Files\i386. It should also make a registry setting change in the HKLM\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Setup. The key you would look for is a REG_Z key called ServicePackSourcePath that would have the value of the path I stated above. Every service pack will install in this path. But, I have come across some machines that do not have the registry entry that I mentioned above. You should check to make sure.

And, you will never need to manually install the service pack again, like before in the Windows NT 4 days.
