I have tried bot the update site and micrsoft site to get
sp1 back on my system, i have a just done a reformet and
reinstalled win xp home, i have a new rw/cd rom installed
but i dont understand why that would stop install,
i get the error "Install has been canceled" ever time.
all the other updates for win xp home worked fine. can
anyone help me?
 
Download the full network install from the Windows Catalog and try that.
It's a 130+mb download but holds the entire SP1 instead of downloading just
what your system needs. It often works better...

Before installing it, make sure any firewall and anti-virus software are
disabled. Probably a good idea to disconnect from the internet if on
broadband when you do this so that no-one can get at your PC...
