how do i get windows xp SP2

[mike]

I am installing XP and it has asked me to put in my SP2 CD (I do not have
one). I have another PC running 2000 and am trying to download SP2 on that
but it won't let me as it goes into the 'windows update' section on the
microsoft site and only wants to download 2000 updates. The only choice I can
see is to wait 4 weeks for it to be delivered on CD. Is there a direct
download area somewhere I can download from

You can get it from here, but it's a large one.. 270mb's approximately..

Depending on where you are the CD can come in just a couple of days. I
got mine in 3 days.

Many magazine have given CDs with the SP2. Perhaps you can still find some
now.
Otherwise either download from windows update or order a CD from Microsoft.
