You can order the CD here:

http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/updates/sp2/cdorder/en_us/default.mspx

The CD usually is delivered in a week or less. If you have a
broadband connection, you can download SP2 from this site and
burn it to a CD:

Windows XP Service Pack 2 Network Installation Package for IT
Professionals and Developers
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...BE-3B8E-4F30-8245-9E368D3CDB5A&displaylang=en

Note: You can safely disregard the warning about updating just
one computer.

Good luck

Or you can just download it and burn it to a cd on a system that does have
an internet connection. Its around 266 MBs and can be found on the MS
downloads area. You want this one:

I was able to get one from my nearby Best Buy store, for free, ask at your
localcomputer store they might have extra copies. or order it from Microsoft.
 
Go to Microsoft for I.T. Professionals, download the complete sp2 to your
machine, and burn to cd. Take to your parents, copy to their harddrive and
then execute program.
 
Thanks for all of the responses! I am downloading it as we speak and burning
it to a cd. I'll have to install it on their computer when I get back up
thee, but at least I have it now for anyone else I bestow a computer upon.
