MS site for downloading SP1a to CD

[Ishmail]

Have a friend that needs SP1a but has a very slow dialup connection. Is it
possible to download this from MS and burn to a CD or must I purchase the
Microsoft CD for 10 bucks. I would appreciate any help that directs me to a
download site. Seems to me they have a hard to find business site where it
is available. Thanks....

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.
