Hey, I hope somebody can help me out. I just replaced my dad’s hard drive in his computer and reinstalled Windows XP using the manufacter’s recovery discs. Unfortunately, they did not include a copy of SP2 with the discs. We have dialup, so downloading SP2 is pretty much not an option. I have a laptop that has Windows XP SP2 installed on it. Is there any way I can copy the necessary files over on CD/USB storage/networking instead of downloading or purchasing a copy? I doubt that I saved the big installation file on my laptop (I downloaded it when I was at college), but I need to check that out. I do not know anybody in this area who has a non-dialup connection, so that is not an option. I’ll buy it if necessary from Microsoft, but I’d rather have it as soon as possible. Thanks for your help!
