It doesn't matter what pack you've got installed. Just download it.

Stupid question, but I have to ask.
You're not going to try to install it on top of SP3, right?

I need to download Win XP SP2 but I realized I already have Win XP SP3 downloaded in my computer. What should I do? Should I removed the SP3 first before I download the SP2 or I can just download SP2 without removing the SP3. Either or, I am afraid that some software or applications might not work properly. Please help me. Thanks...
