Greetings --

Are you trying to install Service Pack 1a and getting the
following:

You need to purchase and use a _legitimate_ full retail copy of
WinXP Pro to perform a repair (a.k.a. in-place upgrade) installation,
using the new CD and Product Key. Fortunately, as a student, you
should be eligible to purchase an Academic license for WinXP, which is
a lot less expensive than the full retail price.

Remember, you should also report whomever sold you the pirated
software to the pertinent law enforcement agencies; you've been
defrauded.
