You can download SP2 here.
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=049C9DBE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en
You can then use it to create a slipstreamed CD and add SP2 to your install CD.

Alternatively make sure your pc is physically disconnected from the Internet. Unplug the network or modem cable to be sure. Install from your XP CD then install SP2 from a CD with the above download.

I did get the ntbackup program off my XP home edition CD. That was no
problem. I have done the chkdsk /r and no problem was detected. I have to
look into doing a repair-reinstall of XP before I attempt it. Besides the
help not working consistenly for ntbackup my internet explorer has a
consistent issue of giving an error message when opening but then opening and
working okay. As I mentioned in one of my previous messages I have the CD
for XP 1st edition so am concerned about using that for a repair-reinstall.

esI will try CHKDSK and the XP repair install when I find time in the next
day or two. I may have to go to the link you gave as my CD is for XP Home
1st edition and I have upgraded to 2nd edition. Do this make much
difference?
