One plan of action:
1) Download the SP3 ISO on another setup, make a CD.
2) Make an image of the system you wish to upgrade.
3) Use the SP3 CD to uprade your system. If the upgrade is not
successful, do a restore.
FWIW have a friend who has done this on several machines without
having to restore any of them.
