I can't update my xp reloaded pro SP3 without having 1A that I can't find anywhere

I tried to find SP1a on internet but end up still at Ms Download Center and be as MS support more less XP pro SP3 with their server does not how to get around this problem?

SP1a is not absolutely necessary.

There is more than one path of Gold (SP0) XP to SP3:

1 SP or---> SP1 or SP1a---> SP3

or

2 MS gold---> SP2---> SP3

Unfortunately, you cannot get MS gold straight to SP3. Must be at least an intermediate step. You can also go to SP gold to SP1 to SP2 to SP3, but it is an unnecessary extra step.

SP1 and SP1a are nearly identical. SP1 has been replaced by SP1a long for reasons of copyright related Java Sun Java virtual machine. But if you have a CD of SP1, it will most certainly work. As a matter of fact, if your Windows XP installation CD at the SP1 level, it is unnecessary to SP1a before doing anything else. You can immediately go to SP1 SP3 without any problem at all.

Here are the links for the packages of SP:

Service Pack 1 has

Service Pack 2

Service Pack 3

To make life easier, copy and paste the above text so that you always have these handy links. It is possible that if you click on them now (while it is connected on the Windows answers Portal), they do not work.

Yet once, you might as well just download SP2 and SP3. SP1a is not really necessary. (But I do not understand the link anyway).
