Cant download sp2

I am having trouble downloading the sp2 for xp. It just comes back saying it
has failed. Anyone know a link that I can use? I have tried this about 10
times and it never takes. Thanks for all the help

I went to the manual download and got this back: The core system (Kernel)
used to startthis computer is not microsoft windows file. The service pack
will not be installed. For information: Knowledge Base Article Q327101 @
http://support.microsoft.com.
This is like chinese to me and me hubby dont know much either of it. Can
someone exlain this as never happened before. I did just re-install from the
xp disk and certified the install today. If that makes any difference. Thanks
to all.

The core system file (kernel) used to start this computer is not a Microsoft Windows file.
The Service Pack will not be installed.
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=327101
Error message: Windows has detected that one or more protected core system files (kernel)
on your computer have been modified

or

Error Code:8007F0CC happens if you have changed your "boot.ini" file.

Have you created a custom boot screen, or have you used software such as Style XP to alter

made before editing it.
