XP 32bit SP2 Download
I really blew it and now my WIn XP says I must have XP SP2 CD to undo
my screwup. I cannot find it on the MS site. Where can I download SP2 iso? Then I will need SP3 iso. Where is that?? I am on a Win 7 laptop right now. I am on a trip and have no Win XP disks with me. My Win 7 laptop can burn disks but I also need a free iso burner. TIA

My understanding is that SP2 must be installed before SP3.

As I said it is asking for SP2. DO I just ignore that and use SP3?
I did have SP3 and all updates installed before I hosed it.

But with the current windows state I am not sure what is installed as I
cannot access anything to tell me. I am just hoping that the power does not glitch until I can respond to the message saying to insert the SP2 CD.

If so, System Restore might do the trick

If so, System Restore might do the trick At the time, the option was to use the SP2 CD. I was too scared to do anything else. I knew, by the looks of the almost vacant desktop and the right-click menu that all was lost and doubted that anything I did would make it better but most probably worse. Anyway, long story longer, check my other post and see that i was successful using Macrium and a lot of virtual elbow grease to restore.

For the (belated) record, you can get SP2 he http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...ils.aspx?id=28 and SP3 from he http://www.microsoft.com/en-us/downl...ils.aspx?id=24 (although, IIRC, SP3 comes as one of the updates). -- Ian
