SP2 help?
Have just had one of our pc's F disked and Windows XP reinstalled.
Now need to re instal SP2 but can't locate the disc :( Has anyone got a SP2 disc I could borrow so I can avoid downloading? Will pay p&p etc tvm :) |
Nope sorry.
http://www.xerces.com/images/smilies/comp11.gif It would be quicker to download rather then waiting for post? |
I've got a few, if I find one tomorrow would be happy to send, but by the time you get it it might be quicker to download!!
Just let me know |
Thanks :D Could I download it as an` exe file to a cd and then shove it in the pc that needs it?
|
Not sure its an exe - but you *could* install XP, connect to internet then use the autoupdate and let it download sp2 ... I'll send teh CD if its easier in the long run!!

Christopher,
I appreciate the offer :) I eventually managed to download and instal -phew! tvm |

To save the hassle of doing that again (installing XP and then SP2) why not simply make yourself a "slipstream" disk?
for full information go here: http://www.theeldergeek.com/slipstreamed_xpsp2_cd.htm (please note this is perfectly legal for you to do, as long as you only use your own discs and its for your own PC) :) I have even went a step further, in that every month I make a new CD up with all the updates installed already and you can even get really techy and make up a DVD with all your software on it as well (but thats a bit too geeky for even me :D ) |
tvm :) BMC 123.
Grateful for the advice |
