You might have to check View Available Updates. The SP2 update didn't show up right on the priority updates on my brother's pc, but was in the "recommended" section.

I found out why it's not available for me yet. SP2 is not available for people who have installed language packs (I have Chinese and Japanese language packs installed).

I have to wait for MS to update the language packs before I can install SP2.

What do you mean you lost?

Does your meaning of "lost" mean a gain in disk space or a decrease in disk space? Use proper grammar.
