Problems with Sql2k install on Windows 2K3 server std

After installing SQL on a Windows 2003 server I try to apply Sp3a but it die
s
about 10% into the install Saying a file "cannot be open as write" however
it's a different file each time. Then after the SP fails it trashers the SQL
Install so that non of the services will run anymore.
Any Ideas
Thanks

You may not have sufficient privileges on the machine to complete the
install. You can use Regmon and Filemon to figure out where the install is
failing. These tools are available from http://www.sysinternals.com.
Hope this helps,
