| 722910 | 2008-11-25 17:39:00 | If someone put an old but legit copy of XP (like one of the first releases about 2002) on to a box then activated etc,would MS auto update put everything on including service patches to bring it up to date and if so about how big would the download be ? | kjaada (253) | ||
| 722911 | 2008-11-25 18:49:00 | It'll probably be easier getting the updates manually then installing them. Or use something like Nlite and slipstreaming all of them, then burning it to cd It''ll be something like 350 - 370 mb at least. Since SP3 alone, is 316 mb Altho I think its 66 mb if you use Windowsupdate (for SP3), so maybe around 90-100mb ? For all of the updates |

| 722913 | 2008-11-25 19:16:00 | isnt sp3 cumalative therefore includes that came before it in which case I would just install sp3 | beama (111) | ||
| 722914 | 2008-11-25 19:18:00 | Yup SP3 includes SP1 and 2. But it doesnt include all the updates from June/July ? (I think it is) to now (Nov) |

| 722915 | 2008-11-25 19:24:00 | SP3 doesn't contain SP1, as SP1 is required for installation, and SP2 is only recommended, but not required. | pcuser42 (130) | ||
| 722916 | 2008-11-25 19:25:00 | Download AutoPatcher and update that way. A lot less reboots and a lot less hassle. autopatcher.com |

| 722917 | 2008-11-25 19:31:00 | I just use Nlite and slipstream everything. That way, if I format, once the install is finished, its up to date So, if you slipstream SP3, then you dont need SP1 or 2. |

| 722918 | 2008-11-25 20:19:00 | SP3 doesn't contain SP1, as SP1 is required for installation, and SP2 is only recommended, but not required. SP3 contains all previous updates including SP1, but (i'm guessing) some of the functionality changes made in SP1 are needed to be able to install SP3. I have heard you can slipstream SP3 onto a XP disk with no SPs and it will work ok. |

| 722919 | 2008-11-25 20:23:00 | I have heard you can slipstream SP3 onto a XP disk with no SPs and it will work ok. It does work, I've SS SP3 with all updates, and never had a prob with it. Next thing I'll be doing, is a slipstreamed cd for XP Pro x64. I would use Autopatcher, but I've already got most of the updates. No point getting them again |
