hi all

Just tried to install sp2 for xp onto my pc from a cd, but i keep getting a message about after a minute saying "corrupt file found>> extraction to directory failed" and it stops in its tracks.

So is the corrupt file on my pc or on the disc??

You can, it will just take overnight and probably into the afternoon. Either that or get a friend with DSL/cable to burn you a copy.
