Unable to download windows XP service pack 1

Hi I did a restore on my Dell desktop computer I bought in 2002.  I reformatted the hard drive and reloaded from the original CD of windows supplied with the system.  This version is prior to SP1.  When I try to download SP1 on the microsoft site, the process starts then stalls.  I get the message "unable to connect to the server.  Any advice on how I can get SP1?  Thank you

Are you using Windows update to download the file or are download you from the section? Forget to sp1a Get sp1 from HERE. Save it to your desktop and run it. Once installed, get sp3 from HERE. Yet once, save the file to your desktop then run it. Make sure you disable any anti-virus before installing software or the other.
