Boot from the XP CD and do a repair install of the existing installation.

If you are trying to install SP2 on a machine with a
Pentium 4 Prescott there are some known issues that will
cause the system to hang doing boot. I have seen a couple
of posts about fixes, unfortunately, I can't tell you
where to find them.

Sam;
See if you have a Prescott processor:

Haven't heard of this one yet and all you did was download it huh? What else
did you download? Sounds to me like a coincidence it's probably something
else you did. Have you tried to install sp2 yet?
