I have a volume license key and an installation cd for win xp pro but it doesn't even have service pack 1. I have about 30 computers to work on and doing updates have been taking a lot of time. Is there a place where I can download or order xp pro with sp3?

Re: XP Pro SP3 for Volume License

try a google search on "sliptream windows xp sp3" that will assist you, but this will only help you if you are re-installing from the start. There will also be further updates that have been released since sp3 to apply to the systems.

One option would be to slipstream SP3 into the version you have. I use nLite for this purpose. Another solution would be to do one install and save the image to use on all the other systems (assuming the hardware is similar).

OK I followed the instructions found here: How to Slipstream Windows XP Service Pack 3 to Create an Integrated XP Setup Disk with SP 3 (howtohaven.com)

But, now it won't take my volume license key. I get a message saying "Product ID you entered is not valid."

Guess you should do the slipstream on an XP machine. All is well now.

Thanks!
