I tried to download the XP service pack 1 from the MS site, but it came back saying my copy of XP was not genuine ?

I bought this base unit 2nd hand, didn't get any original OS CD's with it ......

Question - Must I now go and buy a full later version of XP that will let me add the 'fixes' from the MS site ? Or will say the service packs free with the magazine's load up OK ?

(XP locks up a lot, noticed one of the fixes is for 2 IDE devices on one cable causes this ..... XP generally is very unstable ...... is it just me having this problem - is the installed version of XP Pro on machine just very a very early release ?).

Thanks
