It is wanting a complete windows CD with SP2 slipstreamed into it.
Provided you have a good CD burning program around like say Nero, this
is not difficult to make from your original CD and the file on the SP2
CD. See one method at Slipstreaming SP2:

Those are the Temporary Internet files, cached there in case your
browsing wants to get at them again. At Control Panel - Internet
Options, middle of front page you can click 'Delete Files' to empty it
out, and click Settings and reduce the space allowed (which is probably
excessive - 40 MB say should be plenty)
