I have had a prob like this in Vista, and the answer was to turn off your screensaver before you start the upgrade. Worth a try ...?

haha the screensaver that actually makes sense coz my system goes on to standby after like 20 mins so could be am in work just now so i'll need to try that when i get home ... coz the sp1 install takes up to one hr so ... fingers crossed
