Is there a way I can download service pack 2 without having to use auto-update or windows update? I tried to install it last night using windows update, it downloaded it, and when it was installing it said it couldn't copy the file atapi.sys. I opened Windows Explorer went to C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers and it was there. I clicked retry, it didn't work. Then I did what it said make a folder called Windows XP System Files, it wouldn't create it on it's own so I created it (C:\Windows XP System File), and clicked retry and it still didn't work, so I just cancelled it.

Yeah, I need to resize my Windows partition since I don't have enough space to install it, and I don't know if I want to, I've heard bad things so far. Two of my friends' computers don't work now.
