XP Service pack 1 needed, for reformatted XP pro

[Don]

I just refomatted an XP pro for a client, but I can not
go online because to download it, even through the update
search says that they need it because we get hit with
several worms within minutes. I do not even have time to
update Norton. I have used the repair/restore utility now
2x, trying to get this service pack. I do not have time
to order a CD,the client needs this done yesterday. How
do I get the service pak one for XP pro downloaded to my
computer, so that I can burn it for them?

Don;
If you enable the firewall, you are protected from worms while
downloading the rest of the updates:

See #1 on this link to download and burn to CD:

Visit http://www.microsoft.com/WindowsXP/pro/downloads/servicepacks/sp1/default.asp
and select "Network Installation", download SP1a to a new folder, then record the folder to a CD.
