Thanks for the suggestion...it's been a while since I used some of the DOS commands. Anyway, I ran chkdsk (without any extensions, so it only checked the c: drive) and tried once again to load SP2. Same problem, same result. SP2 goes through its inventory, space estimation, creation of cabinet files, then backs up files and the registry. Then the installation aborts.
