I badly need a Dell XP Home with SP3 CD. Does anyone know any way to get
one? Will Dell sell one without reference to a specific computer? Any 3rd
party sources?

These are incredibly scarce because they were only used on net books around
the time Dell stopped providing media. It's a constant problem for service
needs.

Please don't bother posting advice to slip stream one. There's no known way
to do this for Dell OEM media that actually works.

It can be done with freeware. nLite

Despite your claim that it can't be done I'll have to disagree. I've done it
with autostreamer and it works just fine. In fact I just finished a clean
install with my slipstreamed SP3 disc (from a Dell OEM XP disc) on my old
Dimension 8200. No problems.

You could have said...you also disagree...but you didn't. (I just
don't get any respect! R.Dangerfield)
