[nox19]

Every time i try and install Sp1 it inspects my system
and then tells me that i have a program that is using the
file atapi.sys and i closed everything i can...and its
still doing it

Do you have any virtual CD drives installed?

Yeah, but it still my be hooked to atapi.sys anyway. Try uninstalling it,
and try installing SP1 again. Stay away from SP2 until it goes gold, and
wait a week after that to see what problems may crop up.

Is this installed as a service? Maybe you have to stop the
service, as well as disable the drive.
