Hello,
I purchased a computer that did not come with a Windows XP Home cd.
All the Windows XP Home recovery information is instead stored on a 4GB
Partition known as D drive.
My problem is when ever I have to recover my system (do to other
software problems and Trojans accidentally downloaded) I have to
redownload Service Pack 2 with my 56k connection. To make a long story
short. Redownloading to protect my computer is becoming a major headache.
How can I backup Service Pack 2 on a CD-RW so I won't have to redownload
from the internet again?

You can order a CD from Microsoft with SP2 on it for free.
Go to their site and look around for the SP2 information, they
will have a link where you can order the CD.

Rick;
Or download on another computer with high speed internet access and burn to
CD
Or order the CD.
Installed updates or Service Packs can not be saved for reuse.
