Did you read through all the information at Mr. Michna's site - not just
the bit connected with the above error? The only times I've had
problems installing SP2 on a machine were when 1) the machine had
malware; 2) the operating system was somehow damaged by viruses and/or
malware; 3) the operating system was a pirated version.
I'm not saying yours is any of those things; after all, I really know
nothing about your computer. Did you do any preparation before
attempting to install SP2? I always do these things:
1. Make sure the system is 100% virus/malware-free and running well.
2. Back up any important data (or know that the client has already done
this).
3. Visit the OEM's website (if machine is OEM) to download and install
any patches that need to be applied prior to installing SP2.
Here are some links to checklists:
