I just formatted my computer and re-installed XP Pron OEM with no service
pack 1 or 2 included. How or where is a link that I can get to download SP2
without having to go through automatic updates and all the hoopla of
downloading SP1-which is not supposed to be available anymore??

I do the Windows Update check my computer and looks like I'll have to go
through 25 downloads including SP1 and updates before I can get to SP2.
Where's the mysteriously missing link, or am I just dumbfounded searching for
this??

Any help would be appreciated, thanks...

Kerry
