Problem installing SP 4 for 2000pro

[Guest]

I constantly get "windows file protection" pop up asking for my CD(2000pro
sp3) when I insert it it only brings up the normal Cd install menu, so I
reinstalled windows hopeing to resole this now it occurs less often but still
pops up so I ran windows update-- no change, so I downloaded the SP 4
file(SP4Express_EN.exe) when it was done I ran the app and it started
"updating system" got about half done according to the blue bar in the app
window then stoped going I left it alone for about 24hrs stil no change so I
figured I close it and restart it when I try to open the SP4Exxpress_EN.exe
it tells me "another installation is already in progress. Complete that
install before proceeding with this install. " I don't know what to do

I mainly just want the os to work without asking for the cd all the time as
I would prefer NOT to install a second ROM drive just to keep my WIN 2000 CD
in

MY SYSTEM: =
Athlon XP2400+
512 RAM geil w/ heatsink
80 G seagate HD
Asus MB , floppy, CD-RW

Please Help if you can,
-Eric
