I get an "Access Denied" alert evey time I try to install SP2 on my laptop
and then a follow up alert that instalation has failed. That is, I am unable
to install SP2. Help.
 
Review the contents of the service pack log. C:\Windows\Svcpack.log or C:\WINNT\Svcpack.log
(post a copy of it here, as needed)

Review & try this first
"Access Denied" error when trying to install SP2

Take a look at this page, in the section "Access denied"
http://www.michna.com/kb/WxSP2.htm#Cannot_install_Service_Pack_2

keep this page handy

The pre-install recommendations link is a good start. make sure you don't have malware or other gotchas.

The "Doing the Installation" section is the meat & potatoes "how to".

The "Tidying up after Installing SP2" will save you HD space.
