Files on SP 2 Disk

I upgraded to XP from WIN98SE using the SP 1 upgrade disk I purchased. I am
now fully SP2 patched, but when I go to update some drivers, I am asked to
install the SP2 disk for some files. I don't have the SP2 disk, are these
files located anywhere else that I can download what I need? i.e.
"usbscan.sys" & "i8042prt.sys" as a start.

You are being asked for the "Windows XP SP2" disk. The SP2 part is because your XP is now
registered as version SP2.
Just put in your Windows XP disk. The files it wants are on that disk.

It is a *terrible* message. What it is asking for is simply the Windows XP
installation CD. Because you have SP2 installed, it is calling it the
Windows XP SP2 CD, but all you need to do is insert the XP CD you have.

I tried inserting the upgrade disk I have and it can't find the file. I also
ran a "search" on the disk and it didn't find it either. I think the files
were added after my purchase.

IF you installed SP2 via Automatic or Windows Update, see if the files
requested are in WINDOWS\ServicePackFiles\i386

One should always own the CD for the OS they want to use.
