can I save SP1?

I want to reinstall windows XP and have used SP1 for a few years now. I don't need SP2. I'm going to sell the computer. Is there a way I can save SP1 on another hard drive then reinstall and install SP1? or should I just let the buyer deal with it?

 

are you talking about Windows XP or just the Service Pack 1 update program.

Here are the links to download Service Pack 1. The express will download files during installation and the administrative update doesn't need to download any files during installation.

What do you mean save SP1?
Likely the CD's that came with your system or that you bought from a store is Windows XP Service Pack 1. Is is not?

Do you have CD's? Why don't you want SP2?

 

Thanks for the links. I bought my computer in 2001. SP1 came out some months later and I didn't save the file. SP2 looks like some trouble plus some stuff I don't need like a firewall; I use Norton. I've had no problems with the internet.

 

you really should download Service Pack. You actually already had a firewall on your computer with service Pack 1, it just wasn't turned on. In Service Pack 2 it is simply turned on by default but can easily be turned off. Don't forget that Service pack 2 isn't a bunch of extra goodies to install on your comp, it's a whole bunch of security updates that will protect your computer from known vulnerabilities in windows.

 

Well said. Agreed.
