My XP auto-updater wants to install service pack 3, which I also want to do.
During the installation process, it calls for the original XP installation
disk, which I don't have because the XP was factory installed. I also have
no idea where the recovery disk is that came with the computer, as I've had
this laptop over a year.

How do I override the demand for the original XP OS disk? I do want to
install the Service Pack 3 to be up to date.

Thanks!

It's unlikely it is demanding the XP Operating System Disk and more likely
it is asking for the Office XP installation media - as there is not SP3 for
Windows XP at this date/time.
