Windows XP Service Pack 3 - ISO-9660 CD Image File
in [Setup and Deployment]
|
From: Martin Healy on 5 May 2010 11:59 Hi, I've recently downloaded the Windows XP SP3 ISO -9660 CD image file @ http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=2fcde6ce-b5fb-4488-8c50-fe22559d164e. Is it possible to burn this ISO image file to a blank CD-RW disc? Will I be able to boot a windows XP PC from this disc or is it necessary to install this image file after launching or loading my Windows XP operating system. By any chance does the Windows XP ISO 9660 image file contain the Windows XP operating system as well as service pack 3 which would allow a user to use their own product key? I have a brand new copy of windows xp professional that doesn't come preinstalled with any service packs and that I haven't still activated or used yet. I'm wondering can I use the XP service pack 3 ISO-9660 CD image file to update my windows xp professional copy to service pack 3? Also, could I burn the Windows XP Service Pack 3 ISO 9660 CD image file to a blank DVD+RW disc or does the blank disc need to be a CD-RW or CD-R disc? I welcome any assistance or suggestions from peolple out there to my questions above. Thanks Martin

Also you will need to convert the SP3 that you download from the ISO image beforehand you do the above -- Peter Please Reply to Newsgroup for the benefit of others Requests for assistance by email can not and will not be acknowledged. http://www.microsoft.com/protect "Martin Healy" <MartinHealy(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:28252316-AB4F-48B2-B824-591FBD916741(a)microsoft.com... > Hi, > > I've recently downloaded the Windows XP SP3 ISO -9660 CD image file @ > http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=2fcde6ce-b5fb-4488-8c50-fe22559d164e. > Is it possible to burn this ISO image file to a blank CD-RW disc?

From: peter on 5 May 2010 20:26 It is necessary to install your operating system 1st. Then insert the CD/DVD that you burned the iso to and install the SP3. peter -- If you find a posting or message from me offensive,inappropriate or disruptive,please ignore it. If you dont know how to ignore a posting complain to me and I will be only too happy to demonstrate :-) "Martin Healy" <MartinHealy(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:28252316-AB4F-48B2-B824-591FBD916741(a)microsoft.com... > Hi, > > I've recently downloaded the Windows XP SP3 ISO -9660 CD image file @ > http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=2fcde6ce-b5fb-4488-8c50-fe22559d164e. > Is it possible to burn this ISO image file to a blank CD-RW disc?

From: Martin Healy on 6 May 2010 11:11 Peter, Thanks for your response. The Windows XP service pack 3 file that I downloaded was actually the ISO-9660 CD image and I don't think it can be used for slipstreaming purposes. The Windows XP service Pack 3 file in the WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe format which is found under Network Installation Package @ http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=5b33b5a8-5e76-401f-be08-1e1555d4f3d4 is meant for slipstreaming. By the way, will I be able to slipstream service pack3 into my XP install CD if it doesn't have service pack 1 preinstalled? It looks from your response, that I will need at least service pack 1 before I can attempt to slipstream service pack 3. Is that correct? I thought windows xp SP 3, being a cumulative service pack, contains all previous service packs such as SP 1. Then why is it necessary to have service pack 1 installed on my XP install CD before attempting to slipstream service pack 3 into it? The system requirements for the Windows XP service pack 3 (WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe) on the download web page @ http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=5b33b5a8-5e76-401f-be08-1e1555d4f3d4 listed windows xp professional without any service packs. It mentions Windows XP with service pack 1 as well but it also mentions windows xp with no service pack. So this is why I'm not sure if it is imperative to have service pack 1 installled before attemptting to slipstream XP SP3 into my XP install CD. I would welcome any further suggestions or comments to my reply above. Thanks Martin "Peter Foldes" wrote: > Martin > > You cannot boot with that SP3 that you downloaded.

From: Martin Healy on 6 May 2010 11:29 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?
