I have Win XP Sp2 installed on my computer, however I am attempting to
download it to disc for my sister, as her computer crashed. Unfortunately I
am at a bit of a loss how to accomplish this successfully.

Any suggestions would be most appreciated.

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)

You can also put the SP2 CD in your computer, use "browse this CD" and
copy the .exe to a CD and send that. I just sent it to a friend using AIM.
