XP Service Pack on CD disk?

[Moffat Cafe]

Is 'XP Service Pack 1' available on a cd disk?. I searched the microsoft site to no avail.
Thanks

I'm sure a CD will be available for sale, but here's an article that will help you create a new bootable XP CD from your original CD, with the SP1a files included. You will have to download Sp1a first though.

You can also buy the CD if you still want it, from the SP1a link.

And an even better article on slipping in all critical updates (and non critical updates/reg tweaks/apps/etc) into a cd, with pointers on creating unattended install answer files too.

3 to 4 weeks delivery? What, are they scratching it on the CD with a pencil?

I thought Uncle Bill was working on SP2 also. When's it coming out?

My guess would be that they send out CDs in batches, it's fortunate that they do this at all. You can of course still download it...

Also to answer your question read this.

Uncle Bill is working on SP2. I have the beta 1 of SP2 CD at home.

My question is why do you need to order the service pack CD?
