Just dont be bothered with it, like me ;)

Try downloading the Network install:

http://download.microsoft.com/downlo...35-SP2-ENU.exe

or order the cd from Microsoft.

There is a known issue with SP2 that if you have some sort of Spyware/Virus, the service pack will fail. Try running a spyware scan (using Ad-aware or Spybot Search and Destroy). after that, I would recommend running an online virus scan (I have better luck with the online type).

i did run it and stilll it f-ing up on me

You might to download the full admin installation package and perhaps use a download manager such as flashget or getright.

The Network Installer also installs all updates previously avalible since SP1.
