uninstalling sp1 and installing sp2 on it's own

[leanne]

I installed sp2 and my computer crashed, so I rebooted it, I reinstalled sp2
again not knowing whether that caused the system to crash, then I opened my
computer and tried to copy and paste but the computer stopped responding so I
did a system restore and didn't install sp2 and the computer worked fine, I
was just wondering if it would make any difference if I uninstalled sp1 and
installed sp2 on it's own. or do I need sp1 so that sp2 can be installed?
