I am assumeing that you are using Windows XP, Try here for a free disk.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx
It says "Allow 4 to 6 weeks" but I received mine in 3 days.
You would have better results with your downloads if you use a download
program with "Reume" features. Try a web search there are many of them out
there.
