I just zipped the 15 folders in that download in addition to I386 and it is 
about 75mb. I'll be happy as hell to send that along with a current issue of 
FDISK is you so desire.
All of these files are compressed with the two characters and an underline for 
an extension.

Starband would have a total stroke if I downloaded 266 mb.  They only give us 
107 a DAY up and down.  Go over that by to much and very often and you are 
throttled for a week.  

They just started that this past summer.. didn't let anyone know.. do you know 
how many times I was throttled until I figured that out?  Hell I can go over my 
quota just on email alone in one day.

I just downloaded the file. Let me check out the list of files and maybe I can 
just send you the setup files.
It took 27 minutes to download via DSL. My plan now is to slipstream it with XP 
so it's all on one CD.

I'll be baaack......

Hmm, nope neither of those monsters are in the folder (or subfolders)  Guess 
that blows that idea and I'll have to revert to getting the disk from MS as 
Charles suggested.

Grrrr.

Is there a setup.exe file or an Autorun.inf file in that folder ?

Well, I've done a search on my computer for this file, but nada.  I'm thinking 
that maybe I had it installed when I bought the computer and didn't actually 
download it after all... 

Here is what I *DO* find on my system... C:\WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386 and 
there are 386 meg worth of files in there (perhaps and unpacked version of the 
266mb listed in your file info below)  Could this be SP2, and if so, how do I 
go about transferring it from one computer to the other... (and before you show 
yer smart side), I *know* I could just copy the files in that folder on to a 
CD, but me thinks there is more to it than that... cause nuthin' ain't never 
that easy...

In my previous (task bar help) email, I mentioned that the other computer I 
have is running XP Home with SP1 on it.

My everyday (online) computer has SP2, which I downloaded and installed.  Is 
there a place on my computer where the SP2 download is located, so that I can 
transfer it to disk and put it on the other computer?  

Confused?  Yeah, me too.
