Default Windows XP Pro - SP2 Replacement disk

I know that the SP2 CD is free, but is there a way to get a replacement
embedded SP2 disk? I've completely lost a hard drive on my PC, so I was
planning on reinstalling my disk on a Mac PRO - using BootCamp - but as you
know, you can't do it unless it is all on one disk. If I provide my product
key - shouldn't I be able to get a free embedded SP2 Windows XP Pro?

Couldn't you just slipstream/integrate SP2 into your current installation
media?
