You 'slipstream" the SP2 download with the original XP CD and then burn a
new CD with XP w/SP2. A Google search on slipstream will result in info. Go
here for AutoStreamer -which helps with the slipstreaming:

If you're using an OEM Recovery CD to perform the recovery, there's
very little you can do about it, other than asking the computer
manufacturer if they're willing to provide you (at small cost) an
updated Recovery CD.

More importantly, why do you repeatedly need to do a system recovery?
It would probably save you time, in the long run, to track down and
eliminate the problem(s) that cause you to take such a drastic action as
a reinstallation of the OS.
