I got my computer 3 or 4 years ago before that (SP2) upgrade. My computer crashed I needed to reformat/then reinstall, I used my product recovery disk, but it keeps asking me for the "service pack 2 for windows XP home edition" I don't have it was sent to me via a download, I called my local computer guy, he said I can get one from Microsoft, but he didn't have the number.
If anyone has an idea of what it is I'm talking about (I'm not quite sure myself) please any help would be greatly apreciated, I need to get it ASAP, I have a temporary computer but only for a few weeks. I'd like to get my other one going again.
I'm not looking to download it off the internet, because I needed it for a computer that is down. In other words I can't get online to download it. (sorry frustrated)
I just need the phone number of where I can order it.
And if possible advice from someone who has done what I'm trying to do.

Call your computer's manufacturer and see if they can send it to you. Your owner's manual should have their phone number in it. This happened to me several months ago with my Dell computer and they sent me the update free to put on my computer.

Why didn't you just try microsoft.com? They have most maybe all of the updates you need for XP.
