You may need to do a Repair Install of your system and the

apply SP2. Another option would be to Slipstream SP2 into

the installation and update your system from within Windows

or do a Repair Install with the Slipstreamed CD.

I am not going to question your choice of media, but you should use high

quality discs - you might also want to try and burn your disc at really slow

speed too?

The oem MS disk does not give me a repair option and will not let me

overwrite the os that is on here.

You went past the prompt to press F8 to accept the EULA and

there was no option to repair the current installation after

your drive(s) was/were shown?

 

You are the 1st person to report this problem that I am

aware of. I personally have performed the operation more

than once.
