Installing Windows XP service package 2.....

[Filfar]

I have tried to install this on an HP Media Centre PC without success.
First I downloaded all of the drivers from the HP site as recommended.
I have the SP 2 pack on CD.
When i install; half way through the process I recieve a dialogie box "
access denied"

I have full administrator privileges on my home computer.

What am i doing wrong?

thank you...this does seem to be a very good answer; for sure it convinces me
that I better not try to do this myself but should engage a professional to
do it,
