    Yes, definitely It shouldn't take more than an hour or so, if memory serves. I would try installing it again.

    If intent on SP2 and attempting to update using Windows Update and is failing,
    You can try the Network Installation Package instead.
    Cheers.

    Check HDD with the HDD manufacturers' diagnostic utility
    and
    Check memory modules in use with Memtest86+, let it run overnight.
    Cheers.
