SP2 install from XP CD

[Guest]

Hello,

I already have XP that came preloaded with the Compaq laptop. The system has
SP1 and I am having problems downloading SP2.

I have another XP disc with SP2 from a retired computer that has failed. Is
ther a way to use the CD in the laptop to install SP2? I see the SP2 files
but don't know how to load them since they are not executables.

Thanks,
Greg

Greg;
Not without doing a Repair Installation.

A better option is to download SP-2 and burn to CD or order the CD
with SP-2, both options step 1 on this link:
