In case you have installed XP sp2 lately from the Windows updates web site
or the CD from Microsoft, then refer to the below site for removal

To the contrary if your Windows XP came embedded with the SP2, then I am
afraid there is no way you can remove sp2. :-(

You cannot install an older SP over a newer one. You will need to format and
reinstall Windows clean.
