I suggest you copy to the HD then run. http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=2FCDE6CE-B5FB-4488-8C50-FE22559D164E&displaylang=enis the link to the ISO image that you burn a CD with. xpsp3_5512.080413-2113_usa_x86fre_spcd.iso seems to be what you have. If you burned it as an ISO and not just wrote it to a cd then you are on track. Just put in the cd and in the root folder you will find the SP3 executable: WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe that you want to copy to the HD and run. The reason I say copy to the HD is that when I tried last week to update my 3rd PC for the CD rom F:, it wanted to expand the exe to an F:\ temp folder. And of course you can't write to a CD rom. So I finally copied it to C: and then removed the CD and ran the exe. It extracted to C:\ now. And worked too.

Guest Richard in AZ Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Re: Windows XP SP3 CD The file you downloaded is an "ISO" file. You don't put this file on a CD. You put in on your hard drive and when you click on it, it should open your CD burning program and make an installation CD. By the way, the Windows XP burning software will not work. You will need a 3rd party burning software that works with ISO files.

It works! http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=5B33B5A8-5E76-401F-BE08-1E1555D4F3D4&displaylang=en An ISO is an image (like a zip file) of a CD. Its supposted to be burned to a cd with a *specialized* program ('burn iso image') so that it makes a cd with folders and files like any other CD. An ISO is an easy way to send CDs from place to place. It also allows a bootable CD to be recreated without jumping through hoops. If you can read the CD you made now, and see the .iso file, it still does not make it properly burned to the CD. You just saved it to a CD. If you cannot burn an ISO image with RecordNow, then get imgburn or some such freeware. http://www.imgburn.com/ Or download the SP3 in an EXE file. WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe is what you want.

The first thing you should do is make sure that you are not hiding file extensions: My Computer | Tools | Folder Options | View Uncheck the box next to "Hide extensions for known file types." Click OK. Now, use Windows Explorer to see what exactly you burned to the CD: My Computer | Double-click DVD/CD-RW Drive What do you see?
Guest Steven Tan Posted July 17, 2008 Posted July 17, 2008 Re: Windows XP SP3 CD As I said, I got the the downloaded ISO with RecordNow and I do not know how to run and install SP3 to other PC.Anyway I tried all means and share with you all friends with the following:- I extracted the ISO file to my HD,From there one by one I burn them to a CD by using RecordNow program and it works.

You just are not reading are you. You do not extract anything. An ISO extension on a file needs to be burned to a CD with a ISO burning software, (imgburn) or recordnow *if it has an image burn option*. Once burned to the CD you will see *FILES*. From there you can run the SP3.exe file. That or download the SP3.exe file itself. You don't need the ISO. Get the exe.

But it seems you merely created an ordinary data CD, copying the .iso *file* to it. An ISO is a *complete image*. Instead of copying the file, you actually need to write the actual image to the disk. Actually, I just found a helpful page: "Create a Data Disc Using an ISO Image File with HP RecordNow" http://h10025.www1.hp.com/ewfrf/wc/document?docname=lpg40850&lc=en&cc=us&dlc=&product=59855 Look at Figure 2. Does it look familiar? Did you follow all the instructions on this page? Especially Step #6: The following message will be displayed: "You have selected a ISO image file. Would you like to create a disc with the contents of this file?" Click OK , and then click Next. ---------------------------------------------------- If for some reason, RecordNow just isn't working, CDBurnerXP is quite capable of burning ISO images (and then some): http://www.cdburnerxp.se/help/Data/burn-iso http://www.cdburnerxp.se/en/download

One very good, free, and open source writer is InfraRecorder: http://infrarecorder.sourceforge.net/?page_id=5 Here are a couple of videos that show how to burn an ISO image using InfraRecorder: http://youtube.com/watch?v=D6dM_MwDltI http://dai-videotutes.blogspot.com/2007/07/ifrarecorder-burning-iso.html

But others will correct me if I am wrong. Now, if you would like to allow all users to burn discs (including restricted users), then do as described here: http://www.nch.com.au/kb/10008.html The above link shows how to set permissions so that all users have burn rights. Here is the procedure given in the link above: --------------------------------------------------------- Windows XP You can change the group policy settings to allow this. You must log on as an Administrator user to change this setting. 1. Run gpedit.msc (via Start menu, Run..) 2. Select the following: Local Computer Policy -> Computer Configuration -> Windows Settings -> Security Settings -> Local Policies -> Security Options 3. Enable the option 'Devices: Restrict CD-Rom access to locally logged-on user only.' You should now reboot your PC. Restricted users can now rip/burn CDs. ---------------------------------------------------------- Good luck.
