Before you try uninstalling SP2, have you tried "Last Known Good Configuration" ?

If you're unsure how to do that, here's some instructions..

Shut Windows down, and then turn off the computer.
Restart the computer. The computer begins processing a set of instructions known as the Basic Input/Output System (BIOS). What is displayed depends on the BIOS manufacturer. Some computers display a progress bar that refers to the word BIOS, while others may not display any indication that this process is happening.
As soon as the BIOS has finished loading, begin tapping the F8 key on your keyboard. Continue to do so until the
Windows Advanced Options menu appears.
Using the arrow keys on the keyboard, scroll to and select the Last Known Good Configuration menu item, and then press Enter.

Try that 1st. Did you manage to fully install SP2 or did it fail midway?
