I have a test box (Server 2000) with a Default SQL Server Enterprise Instance (Enterprise Edition). Yesterday I installed a new Named Instance and rebooted. I then began applying SP4. It ran through part of the install and it hung on "Setup is preparing to copy Files"
and there it sat all night. It is still hung here. Both Instances seem to be performing normally.

Any suggestions on what I should do??? Can I or should I cancel the sp4 install?
