Install Error - Operating System Service Pack Level (SP1)

I am attempting to install SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition (from CD) on my IBM PC with XP Operating System. During set up, I get a error message (see below) telling me about a Service Pack requirement. When I click on the link provided in the error message, it does not lead to any service pack download.

I'm trying to read thru these forum posts, it seems that there is a service pack that I need to download after installing SQL Server 2005. But how can I install the pack after when I can't install SQL Server. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Below is more information about the version of windows my PC has.

My PC: Windows Version 5.1 (Build 2600.xpsp2.030422-1633:Service Pack 1)

Error message from install program:

Operating System Service Pack Level Requirement. (Error)

Messages
