Paul found this for Windows 7 (in the Windows counterfeit jail thread). Â* Official download for Windows 7 disc image iso files Â* https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows7 But where is the Windows XP ISO file official download location? Search for "Windows XP ISO download", and take your pick. It's orphanware, so AFAIK you can only get from 3rd party repositories, not from MS. NB that you want SP3. Good luck, And boy are there a lot of downloads too. Wonder how many are infected? LOL I found this https://www.wikihow.com/Create-a-Boo...ISO-from-a-Fol der page that explains how to make the ISO if you have a running windows xp system. Might be an option. Another option is to ask friends. You don't want their license just the disk to duplicate. Even if they have SP0 or SP1 you can slipstream to SP3 real easy. I used to do it all the time. And before burning the CD, I'd make a folder and put drivers in there too. The Microsoft Community site has one or two "you won't find any official download" replies to this same question. I've still got original ISOs for Home and pro. Retail, OEM, and in the case of pro, VLK as well. If you're needing a particular one, lemme know. -- To prevent yourself from being a victim of cyber stalking, it's highly recommended you visit he https://tekrider.net/pages/david-brooks-stalker.php ================================================== = I'm not opinionated, I'm just always right! |

And before burning the CD, I'd make a folder and put drivers in there too. SP3 REQUIRES the prior installation of SP1 or SP2. It will not install on plain (no SP) win XP. BTW, there is no actual SP0. That's just what some people call it when you don't have any service packs. The Microsoft Community site has one or two "you won't find any official download" replies to this same question. Sorry, yes, you can't slipstream the base XP OS. Can you slipstream it to SP1, then 3 - i. e. in two stages? Why is this an issue? Load whatever you have, install the service packs. The only reason to slipstream is to save time when you intend multiple installs. I slipstreamed mine, years ago. Back then, XP was the OS going and I had a lot of machines to work on.... -- To prevent yourself from being a victim of cyber stalking, it's highly recommended you visit he https://tekrider.net/pages/david-brooks-stalker.php ================================================== = Cats need to sample the contents of every pot on the stove. |
