Background Intelligent Transfer Service?

[L]

Had to reload winxp on a Compaq system.
Went to update win to sp2, etc. and errors came up regarding Background
Intelligent Transfer Service.
Went to Services.mcs and there is no entry for this.

Can I d/l it seperately?

Looked at the articles below and they suggest two solutions.

The necessary services are disabled or unavailable. Error 0x80246008
(Resolution 1)

Problem is, I don't even have an entry for BITS in services.msc and I can't
find a solution for that, unless I'm missing something. Tried to d/l BITS
2.x but says I have to have Winxp """SP2""" which I'm trying to d/l.
Seems a catch 22 is going on.

Any other suggestion , please.

Thanks for the help. Kept getting all kinds of other errors also, so--
gave up, reformatted HD and did a complete fresh install..
Everything working OK.

Since I'm going to donate this system to the local Historical Society, this
will get rid of anything they don't need and I dont' want them to have.
