As with any installation that changes your operating system, you should 
backup  any critical data files to another media (cd, floppy, flash 
memory) and you should create a restore point (SP2 installation probably 
creates a restore point, but better safe ...). Then just insert the CD 
and install SP2. I do not recall persons having installation problems. 
Initially there were some operational problems, but over time those seem 
to have been taken care of by MS. In any event SP2 can be uninstalled 
using the add/remove function.

After you install SP2 you need to go to Windows update since there have 
been numerous critical updates and optional enhancements beyond SP2.
