Is it possible to download the service pack 1 upgrades for win XP on a differencet computer? The normal way to download them seems to be on the computer they are for, with it checking what you need on the microsoft site. Right now I need the usb update in the pack to connect to the internet correctly, and I need the internet to get the update.

Did some looking, wondering if I found the correct file, link found below. Thought it would be bigger then two mb...

You'll need to DL the network setup, which is around 128MB. Check here;

You can DL it to any computer, then save and burn it. That way, you'll always have it if you need to reinstall.
