[Millybags]

Hi all,
Is there a way that I can download SP2 and burn it on to a CD, without
installing it?
Thanks
Steve

Hi Steve

The SP2 file can be downloaded from here and then you can burn it to a CD:

When you've downloaded the SP2 file, you can also, depending on the type of
XP CD you have, create a slipstreamed SP2 CD. This can be used in the
future to perform either a 'clean' or 'repair' install of XP SP2 if need be:

You can either order an SP2 cd from here..

Or you can get it free from major computer stores..

When you have it in your possesion, you need to look at this page..
