Can't get SP2 error 0x8009001D

New install of XP, went to updates to get SP2. Everything else came up the
first time, and I went with that. After all those installed then SP2 came up.
Couldn't install, got error 0xC80003FA got fixes for this but am now getting
error 0x8009001D. Tried to download file for offline install but that package
reads corrupted. Please help.

Error_Write_Fault

0xc80003fA = hrReadVerifyFailure
Translation: May not be able to write to the Softwaredistribution folder.

now click "Delete all offline content" click OK.
In the "History" section, click "Clear History", click "OK".

Reboot.

Thanks. Actually my whole problem turned out to be a bad RAM memory module.
Drove me nuts but when I removed that one DIMM, everything cleared up.
