If your Windows XP CD were the gold release without any service pack you would need to install one of the previous service packs before you could successfully install SP3. But, Peter is being trolled... There is a difference between upgrading an *existing* Windows XP installation to SP3 and doing a clean installation of Windows XP with SP3 integrated. Windows XP can be clean installed directly to SP3... as long as the integration is done properly (the /integrate switch in Vista and Server 2008 will cause the Product Key to be refused during the installation) and as long as you are not trying to do this with a Media Center or N version.

The "gold" release is the *first* release of the operating system in 2001, it surely didn't have SP2 incorporated and it wasn't released on DVD. John Andy wrote: > Actualy mine is gold and it says with service pack 2 on the dvd:) > > |
