Trying to Download Win200Pro SP4 to another computer

[Jim C.]

Hi -- Our church computer runs Windows 2000 Professional
and it needs service pack updates badly. Unfortunately,
they do not have broadband at the church, and I waited
over 2 hours for the download and it wasn't half
finished. I thought I would download it onto my laptop
(WinXP) with my cable broadband account and then
transport the file with a Jumpdrive to the church
computer. Unfortunately, Windows won't let me download
the Win2000 SP4 because it says I have a different
version of Windows running. All I want is to download
the update file, not run the Update on my XP system. Any
idea how or where I can go to do this? (Short of
purchasing the SP4 CD). Thanks for your help.
Jim

Jim - try the Windows Update Catalog. It will allow you to download
whatever patches you need, regardless of the OS you are running.
