IIRC, about 10-15 minutes to uninstall SP-2.
To solve the problem (permanently uninstalling SP-2 should not be
considered)
1. How to use the Automatic Recovery feature to recover your computer if
the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup program is not completed successfully:
http://support.microsoft.com/?id=875355
2. Reboot tapping F8 each second.
Select "Last known good configuration" at the menu.
If that fails, reboot tapping F8 again this time choosing Safe Mode.
Then System Restore to Date/Time before issue started:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore
3. Otherwise perform a Repair Installation:

4. When you are ready for SP-2, follow the Service Pack Installation
