atapi.sys is used for graphics (don't quote me on that) I think, maybe have a play around with your graphics settings

7933 » You receive 'The atapi.sys is already in use ...' error during a Windows XP service pack installation?
If you have a missing or incompatible RAID driver installed on your system, you will experience this behavior.
To troubleshoot the problem, see An explanation of the Device Manager error codes, with possible resolutions?
NOTE: Download the latest Windows XP driver from your RAID controller's manufacturer.

Now I am lost
Don’t forget this is in development by M_Soft and may have issues. I have loaded this onto my test PC all ok with XP home.

Have a go at booting in Diagnostics Mode by typing in run msconfig and selecting selective start up. Then try and load it and then change it back after.
Diagnostics start up may be better thinking about it.

Just a note, I JUST had the same problem today trying to install SP1, if you have a program called Deamon tools, un-install it, then install SP1 then re-install Daemon tools

Loads of things can create MS patches to hang on installation always shut down TSR software (software that runs in the back of windows) before you run upgrade patches like this or you will get problems.
