You should execute a proper backup for the entire files and folders kept on all your drives before going for the installation of the service packs.

Click on it to engage the ASR wizard.
Call off every other anti-virus software.
Make sure that you are having an empty space of 3.5 GB on the drive where you intend to install the sub-version of the Windows XP by accessing "My Computer"  from the desktop interface and then go to the drive where Windows is installed, which is usually the “C Drive” and right click on it to reveal the “Properties” of that particular drive.

Now bring on the Windows Explorer from the “All programs” tab in the startup menu.
Now go to the “C Drive” and run the ‘. ex’ file with the label “WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU. exe”.
Clicking on the ‘. ex’ file will extract and copy down the files required to install the sub-version of Windows XP on your computer.
