SP 2 settles - gives a message telling me that the bios updated to the needs

Original title : Sp 2 downloads ok, but used to install

I have a dell latitude d820 32bits that originally had xp on it,

I installed vista on it from a backup I did on an advent computer (purchased new mine).

I managed to install ie9 on it, but it tells me that I need to install sp2,

I tried to install after the download from windows update and microsoft own website, but always the same problem, I can't get sp2 to install even if ok, it will download

I got a message telling me that the bios needs updating, and my opinion is that, even if the software came the computer still thinks it's a dell and this is the problem
