Help! How do i get SP2 on CD?

[Guest]

I am currently trying to re-install Professional 2000 on
my PC (which was wiped). Having gone through installing
the operating system, it is now asking for the SP 2 CD
before I go any further. I can't download it because the
OS is not fully installed (due to SP request!)so I can't
put office back on and have no internet access, but
microsoft don't seem to give an option have it posted out
to you on CD.

Any ideas anyone??????

Thanks

This is very odd. If you installed from the original CD, how would it even
KNOW there was an SP2?
Does it tell you why it needs SP2?

One shot in the dark guess: If you have Promise PCI ATA/100 adapter, it's
driver needs SP2 IIRC. Possibly the same if you have a SCSI interface. If
this is the case, the solution is to temporarily put the HDD your installing
to on one of the motherboard IDE channels, get the install finished,
download and install SP2 (actually probably 4 at this point), then install
the ATA (or SCSI) driver and if you wish, move the HDD back.
