I go onto the windows update website..click on the SP2 link and it fails to
download and install. I get an error message with the code 80246008. Anyone
else heard of this before?

This is probably because your BITS (Background Intelligent Transfer Service)
service is disabled. To enable BITS, open the services applet (run
services.msc from start | run) and double click on the Background
Intelligent Transfer Service. After that set the startup type drop down box
to be 'Manual'.
