Not able to download windows service pack 2

I recently upgraded a copy of XP pro to be legal. I have been able to
download securiy updates and even service pack 1. Although I see the page
and link to get service pack 2 ,when I go to that page an auto search only
comes up with security updates but never service pack 2 as an option. I'm not
sure how I ever got the option for service pack 1.

Windows XP Service Pack 2 is not available to install from Windows Update and
is not offered by Automatic Updates

If you recently puchased an XP Pro, then it might already have Service Pack
2 integrated.

Please check what Service Pack level you are already running before trying
to install any Service Pack

You can order it on CD here - That should make it easier.
