I want the entire upgrade for SP3 on CD

[tango@noplace.com]

I'd like to get the entire upgrade package for XP-SP3 onto a CD.

I have the install CD for the original XP (version 1).



I'm on dialup and can not upgrade online because of the slow speeds.



I can have a friend on high speed internet download it and either burn

a CD for me, or give it to me on a flash stick so I can burn my own

CD.



My question is where do I get the full upgrade package?

I'm assuming it's all either one huge compressed file, or an ISO.

(Or is it separate files?). Please tell me where to download this.



Thanks

To "slipstream" the service pack into your installer CD, you can

try NLite. It takes your install CD plus the service pack, and

prepares a new installer CD for you. You take the output of

NLite and burn a new CD with it.

Does anyone know how about many MS updates for XP Pro/Home have been

released since XP3?



Kind of a vague question which I guess would depend on what you are

running, but just say XP Pro 32 with maybe OE and IE and not much else

MS related.



More than 7 I think.



Just curious.

Not on that machine right now but approximate numbers were 40+ important,

20+ recommended, 10 - 15 optional. So about 75 - 80 total with a full

install,

While this sounds handy, it sounds like too much hassle for one or two

installs. I assume I can just install XP from the original CD, then

stick in the upgrade CD, (IS THIS CORRECT? )



For someone in a computer business who installs an OS many times a

day, this might be handy, but for one time use, why bother. Seems it

would be a lot easier to just install two CDs than go thru all of

this.

Yes. It doesn't even have to be an "upgrade CD." As long as you have the

SP3 .exe file (say, for instance, on a flash drive), you can copy it to

the hard drive and double-click it.

The reason is that you can't predict the future. In the event that you

may at some point need to perform a Repair Install with an installation

CD that you have created at the correct Service Pack level (SP3), you

would be better served by Paul's suggestion. (Then again, I suppose you

could make the argument that if that need ever arose, you could create

the CD at *that* time.)

Just did a install of XP on an old Gateway with 98SE so I could get a few

more years out of it. When I updated my daughter's Toshiba to SP3 I used the

download the others mentioned and made a copy of it ona dvd just in case.

Never know when you will need to do a reinstall.



This is what I did.



Clean install of the XP SP2.

Turned off Auto Update.

Loaded my AV and drivers for my wireless PCI card.

Up dated my AV.

Went to Windows Update to get the updates from after SP3.

Counting todays 12, there are about 112.
