New Installation

[PeoplesChoice@Chicago.net]

I'd like to reformat my hard drive and install XP Pro. Does MS still

support it to the extent that it will provide Service Pack updates,

drivers, Security updates, etc.? Also, is there an SP3 for XP Pro?

As long as SP3 is installed, support, (i.e. updates), continues until

April, 2014.



Service Pack 1a For XP

Service Pack 2 For XP

Service Pack 3 For XP.

(Note: If your installation disk has SP1, install Sp1a or SP2 and then

SP3. If the installation disk has SP1a on it, you can skip SP2 and go

directly to SP3).
