Have you tried checking the SP1 install log to see what it's complaining
about? The other thing you can try while you wait for the SP1
integrated CD is to fire up FileMon and RegMon while you're attempting
to install and see if you can't tell if it's getting hung up on some
kind of path or permissions issue.
A couple of things that I have seen that have caused issues like the one
you're experiencing:
Check the Registry key HKLM\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\FileSystem.
In that location you should see the following three entries:
NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation
Win31FileSystem
Win95TruncatedExtensions
The values should be 0, 0, and 1, respectively (default). I had a
system on which I couldn't install SP1 because both
NtfsDisable8dot3NameCreation AND Win31FileSystem were set to 1. That'll
confuse your poor file system. :-)
Be sure that the permissions on HKEY_CURRENT_USER grant full control to
Administrators. A couple of years back when I was installing SP3 onto a
Windows 2000 server, that group only had Read permissions to that hive;
someone had attempted to harden (overly so) the box. Once I flipped it
to full control, SP3 installed fine.
And, of course, the standard suggestions that you disable any virus
scanning or HIDS engines before attempting to install the service pack.
:-)
I hope this helps.
Cordially yours,

It gets to the end of the install, then says "An error in updating your
system has occurred. Select 'OK' to undo the changes that have been
made.".
I'm running Virtual PC 2004 w/SP1, I installed W2K3 Server fresh from
the CD, then attempted to install the update via the Network Install
package.
I've told our secretary to order us a new CD with SP1 already on it, not
sure how long it will be before that arrives. It's a pain as a lot of
the things I want to test require SP1 now.
