Hi
I suggest you use the full SP2 installer instead of Windows Update.
SP2 is available at the Microsoft Download Center
(standalone "network" version, 266 MB):
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...5-9e368d3cdb5a
If you do not have broadband at home, but you have at work or you have
friends that have it, you can download it there and burn it to a CD.
If you think that the download is to large, you can get the same
file on a CD from Microsoft.
The Windows XP SP2 CD order point:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/d...s/default.mspx
Also, you should clean out this folder (WU5's temporary download
folder) to get rid of the SP2 temporary installation files from
your previous download (if installed from Windows Update):
%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Download\
(%windir% is typically C:\Windows)
For folders you can consider deleting and other disk cleanup tips
after a SP2 installation, take a look here:

Also, before installing SP2, you should take a look at the
