I think you need to slipstream your original version of windows with SP2 to
create a new CD and then carry out a repair install.

first you download SP2
http://www.microsoft.com/technet/p [...] spx#EABCAA
then you follow Bart instructions
http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/
look down the list for this line
Bootable Windows XP installation CD-Rom (with SP1) [updated! dec 17, 2002]
and substitute SP2 for SP1
