You can download sp2 file here:

That same technical person at Dell that helped to analyze your problem
should have also been able to help with the install of XP. The issue I have
found with Dell PCs is having to install the drivers after XP has been
installed. This is usually a different disk than the XP install disk.
An easy way to slipstream XP is to use a free program called Nlite. Here I
normally have Nlite integrate sp2 and create an iso file on the HD for
burning the slipstream disk.
Good luck
