Unable to reinstall Windows XP SP2

I had previously installed Windows XP SP2, but had uninstalled it after that.
Now I want to install it again, but the Windows Update utility thinks that
Windows XP SP2 is still installed.

How do I manually downlaod SP2 and install it manually? I cannot find it in
the Microsoft Download Center.

Regards,
TXSP

Thanks.

I guess I need to ignore the following sentence on that page:

DO NOT CLICK DOWNLOAD IF YOU ARE UPDATING JUST ONE COMPUTER: A smaller, more
appropriate download is now available on Windows Update. The best way to
ensure you get Windows XP Service Pack 2 is by turning on the Automatic
Updates feature in Windows XP today. You can use our step-by-step
instructions or, if you prefer, let us do it for you.

Right?
