Guest Gian Luca Posted September 8, 2008 Posted September 8, 2008 My XP SP3 system needs some repair work. My own XP disc was purchased before the release of SP3. Today the disc was brought out with the intention of doing repairs and a window popped up saying the O/S on this disc is older than the one installed. I know I can still use my disc and then go through reinstalling all the updates or I can slipstream SP3 into the files on my disc and create a new disc. Towards that goal, I started reading. Good grief, so many places for something to go wrong or be omitted. Is it possible to acquire or purchase LEGALLY with proof of my registered XP copy, a disc image with SP3 already in place? Alternately is there an applet that will do the slipstream automatically? Sincere thanks.
