Windows XP SP2 can be downloaded to your computer from Microsoft Update or Windows Update website. A broadband internet (DSL or Cable Internet is highly recommended.
If you want SP2 on a CD, you can order it from microsoft and they will send it to you on a CD. It is free but you will need to pay for shipping and handling charges.

You can download SP2. If you absolutely need it to be on the disk, there are instructions available on how to slipstream in SP2 and make an installation disk (google it). Or just find a warez site.

Try it in a re-writable CD.

ok you don't need XP service pack 2 on disc..
you can download it.. after u install XP on your mac..
when its installed... go into xp.. start internet explorer > tools > windows updates...
it will take a long while... also i would advise u run an anti virus + firewall staight after install xp.. download it on ya mac-mac ,then install it on ya mac-pc.
