What to expect
Due to the number and type of security features it delivers, Windows XP SP2 is a significant update. Here are a few tips about the time and computer memory required to install Service Pack 2, what you'll see as you install it, and what might change after you install the service pack:
• Hard disk space: You need at least 1.8 gigabytes (GB) of free space on your hard disk.
To check your free disk space, click Start, click My Computer, and right-click Local Disk (C:) or the name of the drive you're installing Service Pack 2 on, and then click Properties.
• Time: The time it takes to download and install Service Pack 2 depends on many factors, but especially on the following:
• Whether your computer meets the Windows XP SP2 system requirements.
• Whether you have completed the recommended steps below before you download SP2.
• The speed of your Internet connection. Downloading SP2 is recommended for high-speed and broadband Internet connections. If you use a slow connection, it's a good idea to turn on Automatic Updates. That way SP2 will download in the background while you're connected to the Internet.
No matter how long it takes, it's a good idea to stay at your computer throughout the installation process in case you need to enter any information or respond to the Installation Wizard.
Hope this helps!
