Installing SP2 without my installation disk?

[Angeline]

Hi,
I have Windows XP Professional (1999 I think) and would like to install SP2
or SP3. I have downloaded them but when I try to install, I get a message
asking me to insert the Windows XP Professional installation disk. I no
longer (can't find) this disc since moving house. Is there any other way to
install SP2 without the installation disc? I tried downloading the 'full
version' as well but still go the same message. Thank you in advance for any
help and advice.

Ask in a Windows XP group - but you may not like the answer. You need the original, GENUINE, installation disk.
