    XP SP2 download link

    Can someone please point me to a download link for XP SP2 where I can copy it to cd to re-use on different pc's when needed.

    I have found this

    http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...displaylang=en

    But it says its not for single installations. Will it be okay to use on cd anyway?

    Thanks.

    This installation package is intended for IT professionals and developers downloading and installing on multiple computers on a network. If you're updating just one computer, please visit Windows Update
    That's what they say.
    I personally can't see a problem considering liscences are not involved with updates as far as I know. Here's an alternate download with no mention of single installs:

    Shamus,

    I tried that link but it takes me to windows update which automatically installs just the components that you need. I want the full install as I am making an XP install disc using nlite which allows you to add drivers service packs etc and take out unwanted features such as msn messeneger, netmeeting, windows messenger etc then create a bootable Xp dsic that will auto install from start to finish.

    Its at www.nliteos.com if your interested.

    nLite allows you to slipstream the SP2 with the XP setup cd, creating a new cd that is WinXP+SP2.

    IF you want a copy of SP2 that you can install on multiple machines, you need the

    Windows XP Service Pack 2 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers:
