Those long number & letter errors really can only be understood by pc
software writers/editors/programers...Either way,are you trying to install
from a download or microsoft xp cd SP2,try letting windows update install it
auto...If all were tried,open event viewer & get more details...Or try from
this

By deleting or renaming the Catroot2 Folder which is corrupt then rebooting
your machine can help fix the problem.

Open a run command and type in:
cmd.exe click [OK] then on the prompt command type the following and Hit
[Enter ..] Key on your keyboard:

net stop cryptsvc
ren %systemroot%\System32\Catroot2 catroot2old
net start cryptsvc
exit

Reboot your machine and try the installation of SP2.
