Actually, I found that it often is possible to find the service pack in
a subdirectory created under Windows directory. This directory would
contain the .cab and .inf files needed to do the installation.
Determining which service pack it is, and where it is may be a chore.
However, given the slow download of an SP, one may be very motivated to
find where the files went the first time!

If you downloaded and installed automatically, you won't be able to use
those files to install on another computer.  If you chose to download
and save for later installation it would be pretty easy to use the files
to do the install on another computer.
