    you have to run the system file checker first before you can proceed.
    start...run.. type cmd hit enter

    at the prompt type
    sfc /scannow hit enter

    at this time you shoul have your winxp cd in the drive.

    After this completes. then try SP2.
    NOTE: DO NOT INSTALL 120% after SP2 is installed.
