Here ya go: Download details: Windows XP Service Pack 2 for IT Professionals and Developers

This is a standalone install package. Once downloaded, click the install or setup .exe and you're off and running.

Better yet, grab the newest service pack update: Download details: Windows XP Service Pack 3 Network Installation Package for IT Professionals and Developers

I know it says that, they just want you to go through Windows Update. This is just as easy and then you have the file in case you ever need reformat.
