If she used Windows Update, it might be as small as 75-80
MB, if she downloaded the IT install then it takes 266 MB,
but that would be the same size as the CD and it has files
for XP Home, Pro, Media, etc.

Once installed, SP2 become part of the operating system and
sort of blends in.

How? I don't think you can.

It's not something you can view. Besides what benefit is it to know?

Okay then in other words no one can view this . Is this
correct ??? Thanks for all the help

Size shown there for updates is always misleading, so I think with SP2
they have left it out ( the amount added by *it* is very variable
anyway). What matters is the size of the hidden
Windows\$NTServicepackUninstall folder, that contains the files that
would be put back if you uninstalled. And which you can delete if you
decide you do not intend to

How many ways, times does this need to be said? For SP2 it is not
something that has meaning. Also Look in the list. There are many
others that don't have a size listing, even though they might have a
defined size, which SP2 does not.
