I have W2k with SP4 installed on this system. I want to get a copy of
SP4 and save it on a CD, just in case I ever need to restore the
updates.
I looked around the MS website for an SP4 download but could not find
one. Any idea on how or where to obtain the SP4 for posterity?

I never stabbed anything that didn't stop being an immediate problem.

planning on installing it from a network, but from a CD drive, so I
looked for the CD version.
Its annoying that descriptions are badly written and not uniform,
nowhere did it say that you can put it on a CD and install it that way.
The arguably-best tech company in the world cannot pen better
descriptions than this?

It combines sp4 with patches that came out after sp4 was released. I
applied it to a W2K pro VM setup running under 32bit XP pro hosted on a
2011 build with good results. Dual core, 23" LCD in native mode, dual
500GB SATAs, USB etc. and all hardware works as intended.
