    Windows XP SP2 download

    Is there a way to download XP SP2 for burning to CD for someone else who's on dialup? I've been looking, but not finding one. I have friends who use dialup and SP2 is just to big for them to download.

    Order on CD for free delivery or you can download it from the windows update site.
    BTW many outlets and PC magazines provide it for free too.

    As 104456 has said you can get a CD (free) from many stores, such as Staples, Office Max, etc.

    Supersparks, I looked at that before and wasn't sure it was the right one. Will this download work on a single computer?

    Yes. It just contains every file that could possibly be needed for an SP2 install on any of Home, Professional, Tablet PC or Media Centre Editions. The Windows Update and Automatic Updates packages just download what is needed, and often come in under 100 MB instead of at 270.
