Wrong.

The solution is as follows (I found it on google):
"Fix for error code 8007F0CC while downloading SP2.
This error code seems to be due to a modified boot.ini
file. The most common reason for modifying the boot.ini
is to overlay a new boot screen during windows boot.

The generic, unmodified line under the [operating
systems] section of the boot.ini file should look as
follows.

multi(0)disk(0)rdisk(0)partition(1)\WINDOWS="Micro soft
Windows XP Professional" /fastdetect

Some programs that change the boot screen add a variable
to the end of this line such as /Kernel='some-file-
name'.exe

Remove this variable, reboot, and try the SP2 install
again.

This worked on many of my client machines.

Hi

Some log files you can check for any clues or error messages:

%windir%\WindowsUpdate.log (if you install SP2 from WU)
%windir%\Svcpack.log
%windir%\setupapi.log

(%windir% is typically C:\Windows)
