Hi,
SP2 is available at the Microsoft Download Center
(standalone "network" version, 266 MB):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...5-9e368d3cdb5a
(disregard the "intended for IT professionals and developers" part,
it can be used on a single computer as well)
For folders you can consider deleting and other disk cleanup tips
after a successful SP2 installation, take a look here:
