Peter,

Thanks for this reply as well and clarifying this below. Does this mean I
can use a blank rewritable DVD disc instead of a blank rewritable CD disc to
burn the downloaded ISO image file. If my windows xp professional machine
doesn't have service pack 1 installed before installing the iso SP3 image
file, will it work? It's my guess that it should work because service pack 3
contains all earlier service packs. But I've read some feedback from people
online that service pack 1 may be required beforehand. Is this true?

Also see my other reply.

What is the purpose of having the Windows XP service pack 3 file in an ISO
image format when you can't boot to it?

NO! The assumption is wrong.
