Service Pack 2 Questions

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.basics (More info?)

I have 2 questions regarding SP 2 for XP professional.

How do I obtain SP 2? I already have automatic updates on but it's not
detecting any updates.

Also when I install SP 2 will it erase any data that I have on my PC?

No, not at all. It will start by emailing your entire pornography collection
to your mother/boss/girlfriend/government. It will then cause the
motherboard to melt and your hard drive(s) to spontaneously combust.
Depending on whether you have an Intel or AMD processor, it will then either
cause a localised ice age that will appear to have originated in your
freezer or it will cause your oven to heat to solar temperatures, causing
everything in a 100-mile radius to explode in a volcano of apocalyptic
proportions.

But don't worry, if you make back-ups, and take the necessary precautions,
you'll be fine...
