Sorry, I posted my response on the wrong site. But the problem I refer to reveals one more benefit a full install including the service pack. The original XP won’t install properly with some newer devices attached.

Wow. I’ve been messing around for hours trying to help a friend with this same problem. He was trying to reinstall his original XP followed by the service pack and it was failing exactly as described here. I brought him a full install of XP with SP2 embedded and it worked fine. Many thanks for posting the solution! Presumably one of the newer devices he’s installed since the last installation requires SP2.

Hi Guys,

I am trying to compile an nLite disk for XP Pro SP2. I have downloaded SP3 ready for slipstreaming, however does anyone have a list of MS hotfixes which have occurred since SP3′s release, as I am trying to integrate these into the install media?

I have searched the web and Microsoft site (no surprise) to no avail – can you help?

I just installed XP with no Service packs. Ran this SP3 stand alone and received the message that I needed to have at least SP1.

Martn – first of all, being able to download a standalone SP3 is a godsend (using Firefox3). Many thanks.

I realize the heat of this discussion has ebbed, but I wanted to weigh in on remarks that SP2 must be installed prior to installation of SP 3. I think I disagree.

Had I installed just the update to SP 3 (my computer was fully updated with all patches since XP 2), the download would have been 69 megs for just SP3.

Since ghacks offers the standalone at 316 megs, I was thinking that the standalone contains all 3. If I just need SP3, do you think it’s likely I’ll run into any problems with the full standalone version?

TIA

[...] One other place I read suggested using the service pack which is available on the disc image from Microsoft. Traditionally, you’ve been able to purchase a service pack disc from Microsoft. I haven’t investigated that for this version as I was able to download the image instead. You can find links to the downloads here: gHacks list of SP3 downloads. [...]

So will Microsoft leave SP1, SP2, and SP3 on their website for download after Microsoft stops supporting XP?

Martin:

Thank you for that URL link. That tells me the answer to my question.

Just in case, I’m going to download SP3, SP2 and SP1a
and a page copy of the URL and burn them to a DVD.

Thank you again.

Jason I would like to direct you to a Microsoft website, it states: Note You must have either Windows XP Service Pack 1a or Windows XP Service Pack 2 installed in order to install Windows XP Service Pack 3.

The SP3 also only contains the fixes of SP2 and not the previous ones, hence the requirement.
