Kim;
You probably need SP-2 so you should install it.
Chances are remote that you will experience data loss as a result of
installing SP-2.
But for the moment forget about SP-2.
Are the songs and/or other data on the computer irreplaceable?
What is your plan if your hard drive fails taking all data with it?
The reality is you need a plan to always have back-ups of all important
data.
It seems now that you are a hard drive failure from total data loss.
Hard drives are mechanical devices.
Many last many years but it is not a question of if they will fail but WHEN
the hard drive fails.
When a hard drive fails, often all data is lost depending on the nature of
the failure.
You need to identify all important data including but not limited to:
Email addresses, Email, music, documents, Favourites etc.
An easy way is to simply copy what is important to CD.
Perhaps you should consider purchasing a DVD writer.
Also see the Service Pack Installation Checklist to help be sure the
computer is ready for SP-2:
