I have bought a new pc.

I dont have my disc anymore. Is there anyway i can copy XP Service Pack 2 from my old pc to the new one?
thanks!

No, but you can use Windows Update and download it.
If you are using dial-up, then I wouldn't spend that much time to download it. I would use Zone Alarm for a firewall and run with SP1. Of course, I would use Media Player 10 instead of 11. I would also stick with Internet Explorer 6 instead of 7.
Good luck and Happy Computing!

You can make your own Windows install CD with Service Pack 2 already included in case you want/need to reinstall this PC.
This is done most easy with the free Nlite Tool. It features a link from where you can download SP 2. You then combine SP2 with your Install CD and you will get a Windows Setup disc with SP2 "slipstreamed."
Until then you can install Service Pack 2 from http://update.microsoft.com

If it's legal you can update to XP SP2 using Windows update or you can download SP2 on a legal machine.
