XP Pro SP2

At the weekend, my sister bought a pc from a computer fair complete with software disks including a pukka XP Pro CD. Since then, we have connected to braodband and all is well, except it has started coming up with 'Uploads are available' messages. She was keen to download SP2 and started the download process. When it came to install , she received a message to the effect that it was an illegal copy of XP pro and that the SP2 could not be installed. She thought of trying to reinstall from her cd, but it will not allow her to. She obviously has no idea if the disk she has was the one that the machine was configured from, but does not want the hassel of reformatting the hard drive.

Is there any way to get SP2 on her machine ??
