I have all three service packs for xp on my laptop. everything can I? or just sp3?
I downloaded SP3 for windows xp on my laptop, I also always SP2 and SP1.
My question is: can I remove servicepacks 1 & 2 of my pc since I updated to SP3? They take a lot of space on my laptop which is slow anyway. Also how knowledge or know what previous updates for months and years can be deleted?
I'm trying to get more space on my laptop. Thanks for any help

Please note this is only for Windows XP and is not on Vista or Windows 7
Folders that have uninstall as part of the name (for example $NtUninstallKB282010$ who reside in C:\windows (hidden files) are window Hot difficulty updating folders/files) can be removed safely (providing ever, you wish to uninstall the updates). I recommend you leave these records for a period of at least one month to make sure that the update works correctly.
These updates can be removed individually or together. To learn more about the update/s go on:
http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/xxxxxx
NB: XXXXXX = the actual number, not to mention the "Q" or "Ko."
Once you have removed the uninstall folders/files, then go to control panel, add/remove programs. Select the title of the corresponding Windows fix on the folder/file of the patch you just deleted, and select Delete. You will get a Windows error. This is because you deleted the uninstall folder/files. Simply choose OK and the entry will be removed from the Add/Remove Programs list.

Hello
Have a friend first to download SP2 for you on another computer and burn it to a CD from here - http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=28
Ask students to download and burn the SP3 for you (to install Windows XP SP3, you must first have SP1a or SP2 installed). They can download SP3 here http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/download/details.aspx?id=24

I need a Windows XP bootdisk with all service packs. I have a drive (bought) under license or legitimate only it doesn't have any service pack on this disc. I downloaded all three service packs, but how do I make a Windows XP bootable disk with all three service pack on the drive also? BTW; I have Windows XP, Vista and Windows 7 partitioned on my main computer with boots double.
The process is called "slipstreaming". There are a number of Web sites with detailed directions. Here are a few: http://tinyurl.com/3t3epzn
Personally, I have had success using nLite. Others swear by Autostreamer. Or you can do it manually.
There is some confusion about the "Gold" XP update (with no service pack) to SP3. If you have installed XP Gold and you want to update your existing installation, you must update to sp1, 1A, or 2 before upgrading to sp3 again.
For this reason, some people suggest a slipstreamed sp1a or sp2 using your CD-ROM CD but XP and then to a sp3 CD based on one that you just created.
However, a lot of sites claim to have created a CD of sp3 XP slipstreamed successfully from a CD of XP Gold (which is what you seem to have). See http://www.theeldergeek.com/slipstreamed_xpsp3_cd.htm

Service pack for difficulty Win7 install problems? ___
Was NOT ALLOWED to read a post regarding win7 & service pack for win7!
Now, I read that a service pack win7 will be released sometime in July.
Will be service pack "fix" Setup encountered problems where one of the practical suggestions for some was to remove the CD when the clean install restarts.
If it is possible to "slip stream" win7 service pack, then I'll try again to install my win7 student (x 64) on my winxp (32). The installation worked (removed the CD) but win7 worked for 1 week, & then _ broke loose. was never able to install win7 yet as he entered in a constant loop even with a "clean" install every time.
A beta version, is not ready for public consumption pre-release Service Pack 1 in July. Service Pack 1 will be a minor update which will contain essentially all the updates since July 22, 2009.
