Hi there,

Whoever told you to format the system for installing Service Packs? The service packs are just like installables like MSOffice... ya they are .exe files which can be installed like any other programs. So just get those installables and you are done.. no formattting at all. ;D

I have done it like that, no probs faced. If you are using the original XP version, you can apply for the service packs online and Microsoft India will mail it to you. I believe you will get it in google to, just try searching.

please check if you r havin Windows installer 3.
