yes you can burn that to a CD and use it. that would be another good way
if
you can't easily connect to the net. if you do connect to the net however
you can get Windows to do the update and that way you only download the
files you need which takes less time. Any time you save though would of
course be lost if you need to install USB drivers and set up a dial-up
account just for a one off internet connection.

Hi All
The wife's laptop has just died so today a new one arrived but
without any operating system installed. I have a legit copy of XP
Home I've not used so I loaded that. At the end of the installation
it asked for the SP2 disc. I haven't got one. She doesn't intend to
have internet connection using mine for that. I've tried to take it
off my machine but it seems when my system is updated no file is left
on Downloads or anywhere I can find. I've tried to download a copy
but again it will install it to my machine but allow me a copy. Short
of connecting my wife's machine to the net just for the download of
the application I can't see any other way forward. Unless someone
here can help me please. As she doesn't intend to use the machine on
the net she doesn't need SP2 but it will not allow me to proceed
without it.

Some mistakes are too much fun to only make once.
