XP Pro Downloads ISO

[OldGuy]

I have several Win XP Pro CDs with the license keys.
I need to reinstall it on a PC of mine but i would rather get an .ISO
with as much service packs as possible.
When can I go to download .ISO files?
Links please.

NLite + SP3 Redstributable + WSUSOffline updates = new installer CD

Someone was working on that here, just the other day.
They spent the whole day working on it.

Whereas installing and just letting Windows Update run, doesn't
necessarily need a lot of interaction.

You could at least slipstream in SP3 with NLite, as that's a start.

Let me ask this now since there may be no direct solution.

I have a dead PC with Win XP Pro license sitting in the wings.

I want to create a virtual PC on a Win 7 Pro PC.

I have tried the MS Virtual XP. It looks nice and plays well generally
BUT it crashes when I try to do more intensive stuff.

So I am going to try Virtual Box or ??? and load in a licensed copy of
Win XP Pro. If it flies then I will leave it there to do a lot of work
on the virtual XP Pro. (fast laptop with SSD)

So, any suggestions regarding my intentions?

I also have a MS Universal license for XP Pro so I could use that.
All of them are older SPs so I am trying to simplify.

Also, I am not familiar with slip-streaming or anything other than
doing a CD install and MS Updates. I guess I could then do a clone or
something for ?easy? recovery. Yes, I will probably need recovery
often.

In the case of Win Virtual XP I guess you make a copy of the virtual
PC.
In the case of VirtualBox with XP Pro installed, I am not sure how to
"backup".

I do have plenty of room on the SSD.

You could:

1) Save the .vhd or .vhdx files, or whatever other kind of container
is used to represent virtual disks. For example, I have a Win2K .vhd I
restore occasionally, when there is a problem with my Win2K VM.

2) On Windows Virtual PC, you should be able to configure it for "undo",
such that each time you start the guest OS (WinXP), all changes since
the last run are lost. That effectively makes the OS "read-only" in
a sense. That's not really all that useful, from a user perspective,
but it is one of the options.

I don't think I've ever had the GUI portion of a virtual PC product crash.
The VM occasionally exits, and there is an error dialog on the screen. For
example, I forgot to turn VT-X back on in the BIOS, after changing the
setting. And one of my virtual machines that was saved out in a running
state, it crashed when I tried to start it. Too late at that point,
to remember I hadn't flipped the VT-X bit back to reflect the setting
that was there when the virtual machine was last running.

VPC2007 was my favorite. Crappy emulation, in terms of the problems
I could have running a selection of guests (having to use 16 bit Xorg
setups in Linux instead of the default 24 bit). Windows worked pretty well,
but some things that could have made real time execution work a bit
better, were missing.

Windows Virtual PC, it's the GUI portion that isn't as good as VPC2007.

The main problems I have with VirtualBox are:

1) Have experienced 100% CPU usage when running a Win2K virtual machine.
Bug seems to have been around for years.

2) Rigid user interface. Virtual disks are tracked by their GUID, and
the simplest of substitutions are met with resistance. To the point
that in some cases, I've had to define a "fresh" guest setup, then
add the files I wanted to have in there in the first place. VPC2007
would allow you to mix and match, like "making a salad in your kitchen".
VirtualBox is like "being in a boot camp in the army".

3) Some of the emulation features are nice, such as having
experimental 3D acceleration. However, if you get too carried
away changing hardware emulation (change the Southbridge emulation),
you could be in for a world of pain doing that. Many times, it's
just better to not "turn too many dials" in there. I remember the
first time I tried to run Windows 8 in there, I got a black screen in
the VM, with absolutely no hint as to what was going on. Hilarious.
I like puzzles like that. I eventually got it running.

Checkpointing (saving) a copy of the .vhd when you're finished
setting it up, is probably the best option. Most of my VMs here
are designed to be thrown away, but ones like the Win2K one, I have
that "good copy" when I need to start over again. That avoids having
to reinstall from scratch.

HTH,
Paul

Confusing.

That XP SP3 is a network install for multiple.
How would it work on my single PC?

The second link says I need to install SP2 before SP3.
Is that true for this network SP3 install?

And the SP2 download is for network install for multiple PCs also.

Wondeer why not ISO for single computers?

Why do you need an ISO, when you have a pen drive, and
can put an .EXE on that ?

With all the snippage, I don't know who is talking about what, but you do
not need SP2 installed to get SP3 with this install.

I don't know how long the download will be available though.

Yes, but how about 0 (i. e. none)? I read it as meaning that this SP3
will install even if you haven't got SP1, but Bruce says that's not in
fact the case.

 

[Good Guy]

(For now, I'll just take it that you know - from other knowledge you
have - that this particular SP3 requires SP1 to be present. [If that's
right, _is_ there an SP3 that doesn't, i. e. will work on a system
that has _no_ SPs?])

I slipped-Stream SP3 on Dell XP disk that did not have any SPs. The
disc came with the original Dell machine way back in 2001. If you still
have the old discs then you can try it.

As far as I remember, you needed SP1, SP1a, or SP2 to be on the machine
installed before SP3 can be applied but this only applied to a system
that you are trying to update. It does not apply to Slip-streaming the
installation files. You can then use this new disc to install on a
system. Thus by-passing the previous SPs.

You can google for old documents on this topic.

J. P. I do not have a Windows XP Home Edition ,
or Windows XP Professional Edition with out 1 or 2
I be unable to Test it
But 0 is ?

IE-Sp1 like Win98
