Ok, I have a 'copy' of windows XP pro I have been using for years that my dad got.

I wan't to know if it would be possible to download SP2 on to my computer even though its a copy of xp?
 
Where would i get that?

I am not the owner of this computer I dont know where all the disk and other stuff is kept :)
 
Is it a built machine or like a Dell or something... You should be able to call the manufacturer and give them the service tag.
 
I think dude pirated it...Bottom line is that service packs will not install on a cracked version. Even if you find a copy without the validation process (which is slowly vanishing...) it still won't install because it checks your key before extraction.
 
You would know if it's not. Go to control panel, system or hit windows key + pause|break and look at the number under registered to. A legal copy should have "OEM" in there somewhere.
