I have an original XP os and want to run it on my Macbook with Parallels software, is XP service pack 3 a paid for upgrade or part of the normal upgrade?

thanks

Was beaten to it

OK I have XP running (sort of) I don't know how I've done it but when XP boots up I'm faced with a B&W screen with XP on 3 times. I have to select one to start. 1st one is the proper system while the other two open up with the blue install screen telling me to insert the XP disc.
How do I delete the other two or on start up get them to be ignored and boot straight into the first one?
