I really blew it and now my WIn XP says I must have XP SP2 CD to undo
my screwup.
I cannot find it on the MS site.
Where can I download SP2 iso?
Then I will need SP3 iso. Where is that??

I am on a Win 7 laptop right now.
I am on a trip and have no Win XP disks with me.
My Win 7 laptop can burn disks but I also need a free iso burner.
TIA

A waste of time to install XP sp2

I'd get or make an XP SP3 slipstreamed CD
 
As I said it is asking for SP2. DO I just ignore that and use SP3?
I did have SP3 and all updates installed before I hosed it.
 
But with the current windows state I am not sure what is installed as I
cannot access anything to tell me. I am just hoping that the power
does not glitch until I can respond to the message saying to insert the
SP2 CD.

Maybe you will not need an install CD at all, can you get to Safe Mode?

If so, System Restore might do the trick

At the time, the option was to use the SP2 CD.
I was too scared to do anything else.
I knew, by the looks of the almost vacant desktop and the right-click
menu that all was lost and doubted that anything I did would make it
better but most probably worse.
Anyway, long story longer, check my other post and see that i was
successful using Macrium and a lot of virtual elbow grease to restore.
