Download Windows XP SP2 from Windows Update failed

Why do i receive error message when I download Windows XP SP2 from Windows
Update?
Error:Not enough disk space, can't install update.
Error Code: 80070070

Not enough space on your computer. You will have to remove something,
like if you have a lot of games on the computer, or up-date your computer
with a larger Memory card. This download messed up my Norton Security big
time, and allowed Spam into my Outlook Express. So if you have a Security
program on your computer already, Norton, McAfee, etc. Don't download this
up-date. If you use Outlook Express it will block all pictures, and
attachments. Go to XP Help and Support. Good Luck. I also bought Norton Go
Back.

Michael,

Are you attempting to install it from Windows Update or download the
entire package ?
Suggest you get the full SP and install it offline, with IE closed, or
better yet, order the CD :
