<P>Read these installation instructions carefully before you install SP1. Installation methods might have changed since the release of previous service packs.</P>
<P>Note that during the installation, backup files can be created automatically so that you can remove the service pack later if you want to (unless you specifically choose not to have these files generated).

<LI>In the event that the installation fails, you need to ensure that you get the most out of data recovery. On computers running Windows&nbsp;XP Professional, to maximize data retrieval, create an Automated System Recovery (ASR) before you begin installation.

<P>The <A HREF=" http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=8602" TARGET="_blank"><U>Microsoft Windows&nbsp;XP Service Pack&nbsp;1 Web site</U></A> offers two installation options for SP1:</P>
<UL>
<LI><B>The Express installation </B>
<P>The Express installation detects the service pack files that are already installed on your computer and installs only those files that need to be updated. If you choose to install the service pack from the Web site, the Express installation is recommended for users with one computer to upgrade. Installation types are discussed in detail on the <A HREF="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=8602" TARGET="_blank"><U>Microsoft Windows&nbsp;XP Service Pack&nbsp;1 Web site</U></A>. Using the Express installation can be significantly faster than downloading the Network installation.</P>
</li>
<LI><B>The Network installation</B>
<P>Using the Network installation option, you can download a self-extracting executable file (XPsp1.exe) that contains all of the SP1 files. This option is ideal for an administrator who wants to set up a shared network folder for deploying SP1 across a network. For more information about installing SP1 on multiple computers, see the <I>Microsoft Windows&nbsp;XP Service&nbsp;Pack 1 Installation and Deployment Guide.</I></P>
</li></UL>
<P class="note">Note</P>
<P class="indent">You cannot use the Express installation option to install SP1 on computers running Windows&nbsp;XP 64-Bit Edition.</P>
<P class="important">Important</P>
<P class="indent">During the download, make sure that you are downloading files from a Microsoft Web site.</P>
<P>Because downloading XPsp1.exe takes a substantial amount of time, you might want to save the file on your computer. This way, if you need to restart the installation or reinstall SP1, you will not need to download the file again. Because of the size of this file, if your computer has more than one hard disk, you should save XPsp1.exe on a disk other than your system disk. </P>
<P>See the <A HREF="http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkId=8602" TARGET="_blank"><U>Microsoft Windows&nbsp;XP Service Pack&nbsp;1 Web site</U></A> for full instructions about completing the Express or Network installation.</P>
