Installation of SP3

[Thomas E]

I'm running XP Professional SP2 and I'm trying to upgrade to SP3. However,
the installation process stalls at some point after unpacking files. First,
the process went dead with a "creating cabinets" notification in the wizard
window, and now, after I downloaded a 316MB file called
WindowsXP-KB936929-SP3-x86-ENU.exe it goes dead with a "checking for disk
space" message. The installation process just stops, everything else works
fine. What's wrong and how do I complete the upgrade?
