Re: programs downloadable to flash drive?

Thank you, Kayman! I had been looking for a way to do this, but all I could
find was something about purchasing the CD (which I figured would take too
long). I'll do it tonight, since the download is likely to take a long time.
A few more questions:

* Will Microsoft allow me to put the image file wherever I want it on my
hard drive?
* Once I've burned it to a CD, would I install it on the new computer
directly from the CD rather than copying it to the hard drive and installing
it from the hard drive?
* Should I delete the image file from the old computer when I'm done? (Is
there any value to keeping it there?)

Thank you again!

Prior installing anything else (incl. AV apps.) to your 'new' computer,
consider using your 'old' computer to download the ISO Image File, create
a
CD from it and use the CD to install SP3 to your 'new' computer.
