I just used the emachines restore DVD (version 1.0) to reinstall Windows XP.
Per microsoft website, service pack 1a or 2 need to be installed prior to installing service pack 3.
Attempt to install in "safe mode" results in same error message.
(Per microsoft website, "automatic updates" are not available for Windows XP.)
I am having the same issue with both 1a and 2. I have downloaded them from CNET and from the MS site with the same issue/messages;
"The following error occurred while Service Pack 1(2) Setup attempted to download the Service Pack 1 files from the Internet: The server did not respond."
The point of installation denoted in the "details" window shows this; "http//xpSP1.microsoft.com/isapi/pstream3.dll/xp/sp1.USA.1106a"
Thank-you for your help.
