Error message when I try to instal Service Pack 2

It says unable to read or ride on database...or something along that nature...
Right after it finishes backing up everything during the instal process it
happens...I have tried everything but i dont know what to do. Help

Check the log files, %windir%\Svcpack.log and %windir%\setupapi.log .
