How to download a version of XP SP1a does not require an internet connection to install patches and fixes?

I try to use an older laptop that originally supplied with XP Home Edition.  I had already installed all service packs.  I try to install XP SP1a to be able to then install XP SP3.  I downloaded SP1a like save and launched the executable service pack from my download files.  He keeps the slightest error with a message that it was impossible to connect to the server.  A solution indicates that you can download a version of SP1a that requires no connection to internet to load the patches and fixes.

I was unable to locate this download on the download of Miucrosoft Center.  Someone has a link to the SP1a download file I need to run?

Thanks, Dave

Hello

You do not have service pack 1 or 1A, it is included in service pack 2, which can be downloaded here...

Don't worry about the text which says that these are network installs, or the text which says do not use if you are only up-to-date a PC, they work very well for any installation of XP.
