Installation of Win XP SP2

[Guest Alan C. Brown]

I have just installed retail version of Windows XP SP1 (version 5.1.2600) on

my Toshiba Satellite 5105-S702 laptop.

 

I have to upgrade it to Win XP SP2 using a CD that I purchased in 2005 from

Microsoft - actually it's "Version 2002 Service Pack 2" according to the

System Properties info on the other laptop that I have it installed on.

 

Can I install the SP2 without first installing the updates/security fixes

released between SP1 and SP2 from the Windows Update site ?

 

In other words does SP2 contain all the updates /fixes released since XP SP1

version 5.1.2600 ?

 

Would appreciate any advice.

 

Thank you

Yes, Each SP includes everything up to it. SP2 has all of SP1 and the

patches up to SP2's release, and maybe a few extra.

 

If you just loaded the machine, you might want to load SP3 now and skip

SP2. It includes everything up through SP2 and all the mods to that

SP2.

If you encounter problems, it would be less of a loss than trying to

update a year from now when SP2 becomes unsupported.

Yes, just install SP2 and then any updates after SP2.

No need to worry about updates after SP1 was released as they are part of

SP2.

Re: Installation of Win XP SP2

 

well, if i'm not mistaken

all the subsequent updates

after the release of sp2

are not rolled up into

one update called sp3.

 

you might want to check

and ask toshiba usa this

similar question since

sp3 is not 100 percent

acceptable by 100 percent

of the computers.

 

toshiba would be the

absolute experts to

advise you since they

have likely tested sp3

on all their machines and

know exactly how to

respond about your

laptop.

 

until them you might

want to turn off automatic

updates and you bits services

via admin tools and

see how long you can

go with out subsequent

updates.

You can install SP2 and then all post-SP2 updates or you can skip straight

to SP3. However, you will have to install SP3 manually as you will not be

able to use Windows Update website without SP2 already installed.
