On following MS webpage, I founded: What to Know Before You Download and
Install Windows XP Service Pack 2

1. How Do I Know if My Computer Is Ready to Install SP2?

Go to the Windows Update Web site. Windows Update will scan your computer.
If it lists Windows XP SP2 as an available update, then your computer is
ready for SP2.

Does that mean that I have first to install 31 updates because I don't see
SP2 update available after having my PC scanned by Microsoft?
2. Get the latest Windows updates.

Before you install SP2, get your version of Windows completely up-to-date
with the latest performance and security updates. Go to the Windows Update
Web site, click Express Install, and then install all high priority updates
listed.

Do you recommend first install proposed updates, than have a check again to
see if SP2 is proposed.If not, install from downloaded file.....OR.....
install SP2 from now?

Thanks,

Erick
