Title: XP Pro - SP3
Post by: Mr Skrunts on 21 March 2010, 20:24:42

My windows intall disk is only SP2
also same for IE7

Is it possible to download the SSP3 service pack fpr future use.  I installed windows on thursday and it has just got round to downloading the SP3 pack today.

I havent activated windows yet as I allways do an install for testing any try all the bendled motherboard software and set the system up on a spare hard drive, then during the week I will be installing windows all over again on a bigger hard drive.

TIA.   :y

Once you've downloaded SP3 .. use that and your existing XP disk to make a "slipstreamed" disc.. it will work using the same cod as you have .. and saves having to redownload/reinstall SP 3 every time . :)
