The easy way to find out if you already have it is go to Start-- Run ---
type WINVER and hit enter. The second line should have the word "Service
Pack 2" if you have it. (Note: you may see "sp2" listed there due to some
of the recent patches but if you don't see "Service Pack 2" actually written
in full anywhere in there, then you don't have it.)
Hi

And if it is not installed, I suggest downloading the full SP2
installation and use it to install SP2.

SP2 is available at the Microsoft Download Center
(standalone "network" version, 266 MB):

If you think that download is to large, you can get the same
file on a CD from Microsoft.

Also, you should clean out this folder (WU5's temporary download
folder) to get rid of the SP2 temporary installation files from
your previous installation:

%windir%\SoftwareDistribution\Download\

(%windir% is typically C:\Windows)
