Where can I find a download for SP3 for XP so I can put it on a disc and install it on a computer without internet connection?

OK... so I gave a computer to a family I have mentor and with all the kids messing around on it and downloading things... they had so much virus they had to completely erase the hard drive and reinstall everything.

Well, here's the problem... the recovery disks that they contained IE6.  They have At & t DSL... and it won't work with nothing less than IE7.  The recovery disks also had SP1 for XP.  So... they can't get online because they have IE6... they cannot install IE7 because they do not have SP2 or SP3.  They can do an update on their packaging of service because they can get online.

So what I do is download all the software needed and get there and installation from disc.  I downloaded IE7... but I can't find where to download the SP2 or SP3... everywhere I go they tell me to do the update... but I'm not doing it on this computer... I do it to their computer.  So I don't know how I can download it and install it on their computer if they did not have access to the internet.

Oh... another question... can I download SP2 and SP3... or not to download the SP3 give me the more updated and SP2 file is not necessary?

You can either download the SP3 .exe (first link) to a USB or download SP3 .iso (second link) to create the fancy CD:

(For the latter, you must use the appropriate software - like imgburn - to burn the CD.)

SP2 is not necessary. You can go directly from SP1 SP3.

Make sure that you upgrade to SP3 before you upgrade from IE6 to IE7.
