I want to download Windows XP SP2 for use on a single
computer so that I can burn it onto a CD as I need it to fix
problems with IIS installation. However, on the update site
it only allows you to install it, not download to burn it
onto a CD, unless of course you download the network version
which is elsewhere on the Microsoft site.
Is there a place I can download (without installing) the
single PC version so that I can then burn it to a CD?

Thanks,

You can download the full version if you want to install it on
a single computer. Keep in mind that the file is 266 MB.
Hopefully, you've got a broadband connection.

Download details: Windows XP Service Pack 2

If downloading the full version is not an option, you might
want to order the CD:

OK, I downloaded the full version. Which of the extracted files in which
folder is the 'SP2' (only) that can I burn to a CD?

Thanks,
Ken

It's one file......Where did you tell it to go?
