Please insert windows xp professional service pack 2 CD

[Guest]

The SP 2 CD I ordered says XP Home on it. I can't see how to order a "Windows
XP Professional Sevice Pack 2" CD. How do I get one of those?

I'm getting a message asking for this CD. My original XP Pro CD won't
satisfy it and neither will the SP 2 Home Edition satisfy it.

Additional notes:
After trying to install a scanner, I got some message saying that one of the
files replaced a windows file and I needed to update it, Please insert
windows xp professional service pack 2 CD.

There is no special Home vs Professional SP2 CD. The same CD works for
either.

Whoops, I accidentally posted more or less the same question twice. I thought
this wouldn't get through because of an email address problem.

I see that there is only one SP 2 CD. The issue about the message to insert
the Windows XP Professional Service Pack 2 not being satisfied by the CD (nor
the XP Windows Professional CD) still remains, but it's hopefully being
addressed in the second thread I started.

You might want to take a look at this article:

You may be prompted to insert a Windows XP Professional CD when
you run the System File Checker tool in Windows XP Home Edition
