XP Service Pak 1 for XP pro

[Don]

I needed to download the XP Service pack 1 for XP pro for
my client. I just reformatted the computer and I can not
go on line because I get hit with several worms before I
can update Norton. I need to download this pack on my
computer and burn a cd for the client, I do not have time
to order a cd, that takes 2-4 weeks ETA. How do I get
this service pack 1 so that I can move forward?
This is my second posting, is anyone there? Please,
Thank you for attention in this matter.

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.

Aside from the network download already mentioned . . .
One can use the SP1 from one's TechNet subscription
(difficult to imagine one with clients not have TechNet),
or simply after install of XP _turn_on_the_firewall_ so
that one can go online without getting hit by things while
doing the service updating.

Why download the free virus scanner from www.grisoft.com? It is updated on
download, put on a CD, install and then connect to the net.
