Cannot copy file

I have manually downloaded the SP2 update for XP Home, and I get the cannot
copy file error on SP2.CAB. It asks me to browse for the proper location,
and it does exist in the location stated. (something like
c:\chw8fbwkjei2wf9efwergf\i386)

Any insight is appreciated, I'd like to get SP2 andall the updates on very
soon.

Thanks in advance,

Dan
