If you have a licensed version of Windows XP, I'll recommend you to create an SP2 integrated install cd and try installing with it.

Yes u can directly install sp2. Sp1 is not needed to install sp2.
Further, it was present in the June 2005 DVD. The freeware /anniversary issue.
It is a 266MB download.
SP3 is not an official release. It is just a collection of all post sp2 updates.

No .. Windows Service packs are cumulative updates .. That means if you install Sp2, you dont need to install Sp1 .. There is no stipulated date for SP3 yet ..

i got the same problem a few days before.Finally the problem diagnosed was my motherboard didnt support the installation. Finally i got my motherboard replaced(It was under guarantee). And now i have service pack 2 installed on my pc.Check for ur motherboard.
