Shoot CDs - sorry it hasn't worked yet, I applaud your guts and curiosity! But, why do you want to do a "repair" installation?
There's too many installed goodies on our old Athlon running XP-SP2, so I'm gonna get the SP3 .iso and just upgrade...

Well I tried three of the Wardedn's comps, two took right away a nd one then reconized a couple of hardware updates for the VIA Rhine II NIC (Gigabyte 754 comp) and now it does seem much faster on downloads. The other success (DFI SocketA XP2700) also seems a bit quicker on downloads.
The Third has a Lot of files and is not finished yet (Hope their being in Korean doesn't slow the process too much) All from Windows update.

When I used Windows Update it never got rid of any files... I don't think you need to use a CD.

Yeah, but then I'll have the CD, and the update process itself should be quicker, don't you think?

Right, that'd be quickest of all, in case you needed to rebuild the system from a pre-SP3 image - thanks!
