Windows XP SP3 on CD?

I just downloaded the file again without any problems. 'Didn't use anything
other than downloaded while in Internet Explorer.

I downloaded to my hard drive.

Would you like I burn the file to a CD and mail it to you?

very kind of you Don. I got up at 5AM EDT and finally got the d/l to
finish. Their server was probably tired out.:>)

Thanks a lot!

Good to hear of the happy outcome.

Take care,

Go to KB322389. There is a section on how to get a CD for your region.
Unfortunately it is not free this time. $3.99 + $5.99 shipping. Or you can
use one of the download suggestions mentioned already.

But it's worth pointing out that this will be a CD with JUST SP3 on; it
won't be usable to reinstall anything immediately after a format, as Rainy
seems to want to do. Of course, if a reformat should prove necessary, it can
be used to install the service pack once XP has been reinstalled from a
separate disc, or it can be used to create a slipstreamed install disc.

Hello Richard--I see you have XP-SP-3 CD. Tell me more about the CD.

Thanks Garry

I'm not Richard but here is the location to obtain Windows XP SP-3 CD from
Microsoft for a modest price.

or with TinyURL
