Reinstalling Windows Need SP2

Hi I had to reinstall XP and would like to update from SP1 to SP2. Windows
Update says I need 60 plus files, is there a way to do this like I read about
slipstreaming without down loading all themn files, but I do not have a CD
burner. So I apprecaite any help. Thank You

Try http://www.autopatcher.com/downloads/

Be sure to scroll down and choose the Full from November 2006 and then
the updates. Install them all, then run AutoPatcher. Works great.

hth

Windows XP Service Pack 2 - download (for single PCs also) - get a friend to burn it to CD
for you
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en
or
SP2 CD can be ordered online.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...s/default.mspx

Then you'll need the updates from SP2 onwards.

So I can just download that and just do the updates for SP2 onward ??? And
why would I need to burn it to a CD still. Thanks

No burn needed for AutoPatcher. Nor any WGA "phone-home" burden.
