I’m rebuilding my PC soon and I want to install Windows XP so I have a dual boot system – Win 7/XP. In my guide to installing the OS it says I will need to install SP3 and I’ve got a link which takes me to the MS website where I get Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers
It says:
"DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER: A smaller, more appropriate download is now available on Windows Update."
Of course, if you go to Windows Update it wants do everything automatically for you and I can’t see any option to download SP3 so I can install it myself.
Can I just download and use that SP3 Network Installation Package?
The space where I rebuild my PC doesn’t have internet access so I need all the relevant software, patches and drivers on discs and USB sticks otherwise I could do it as I was building it.
Thanks
