    Hey guys! Perhaps it will be very strange request for this forum, but a lot of years I'm looking for this CD:
    Code:
    Title: Windows XP Service Pack 1 English
    Label : XRMSP1_EN
    Serial Number : 7ACA-5E78
    CRC32: FFFFFFFF
    MD5: F9A73BFA00E64908E5646A1A69DB85A6
    SHA-1: 1F1DB9E479C215683C8ECF30E7C783723234C299
    I'm ready to buy it, but well made iso-image using CDShot program would be quite enough!
    I will be very grateful to everyone for any help!

    I don't need Windows XP Service Pack 1A CD (its Volume Label is X1ASP1_EN) - I already have it.
    Also I have file xpsp1_en_x86.exe (SHA-1: ab432b250669927ede664738a5e9799161003c23).

    Why? When it was available for a short time on windowsupdate, it was absolutely free.
    Just in that times internet was very slow and I've downloaded only file xpsp1_en_x86.exe.
    All iso-files with all Service Packs were always free!
    And finally, I'm ready to buy this one! I was looking on eBay for it and have found only German version, it has Volume Label XRMSP1_DE, and it still there.
    Another guy from GB is trying to sell CD from Windows XP Magazine. It also has name Windows XP Service Pack 1, but it's not an original one from Microsoft, although it contains Service Pack 1 as well too.

    The difference between SP1 and SP1a is the MS Java Virtual Machine. MS lost their suit with Sun Java, then MS had to remove their own version from their operating system. When installing service packs on the two there is a slight difference. While you can install SP3 directly onto SP1a, you cannot do so with SP1. With SP1 you would need to first install SP2. During installation of SP2, the MS JVM is turned off.
