    I have my original disk for Windows XP home. Unfortunately it is the original version and I am having a problem with my updated computer that now has XP Home service pack 3. In order to repair my version my original disk does not work. Can I get an up to date service pack 3 copy disk?

    Hello Mictee,

    In order to run an "in place upgrade" (aka repair reinstallation) on an installation of XP that has SP3 applied, you have to use an XP installation disc that has SP3 applied to it.

    Download a free utility called "nLite" to acomplish the task of integrating SP3 with your existing installation disc to make a new installation disc that will work to repair an XP installation with SP3.
