Greetings --

   If you are trying to install Service Pack 1a and getting the
following:

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;Q326904

    You need to purchase and use a _legitimate_ full retail copy of
WinXP Pro to perform a repair (a.k.a. in-place upgrade) installation,
using the new CD and Product Key.
