to How to create a bootable Windows XP SP3 CD

by M Labs

* If you do not like to do this manual or hard way,

there are tools for it.

(I do not wish to add spoiler by introducing them. ;) )

* Check your newly created bootable cd with

virtual box or any VM for avoid any risk.

Hint:

* you can create even XP SP3 DVD, Only have to do

create dvd image and test it.

Remember,

NEVER ADD MORE THAN 4000MB FOR DVDS,

if so IT WILL NOT WORK...

Step 1

Create 3 folders -

ex.

C:\WINXPSP3

C:\SP3

C:\XPBOOT

Step 2

Copy the entire Windows XP CD into folder WINXPSP3

Step 3

You will have to download the SP3 Update.

Rename the Service Pack file to XP-SP3.EXE

Extract the Service Pack to SP3 from the Run Dialog using the command:

ex.

C:\XP-SP1.EXE -U -X:C:\SP3

Step 4

Open Start/Run... and type the command:

update.exe -s:WINXPSP3

ex.

C:\SP3\update\update.exe -s:C:\WINXPSP3

Click OK

Folder WINXPSP3 contains: Windows XP SP3

In the same way you can add hotfixes and updates to your XP SP3

ex.

H:\WindowsXP-KB942288-v3-x86 -s:H:\XP
