I have a System Recovery on a hard drive partiton. I plan on using it as soon
as I can get some blank DVDs for back-up. When I do, it only installs SP1. I
have SP2 on a CD. Is there anyway I can install SP2, download and install all
the Microsoft updates, then create another System Recovery, so that the next
time I do a System Recovery, it automatically installs SP2 and all the
Mircosoft updates?

Since you have a DVD burner, look into Image for Windows, http://www.terabyteunlimited.com/imagew.html or similar utilities that will backup your entire hard disk to one, or more, DVD's. After your installation is complete, simply image the drive(s) to DVD.

Would Norton Ghost 9.0 (Which I already have) work the same?

I don't have any experience with Ghost 9. I know Image will work. But from what I remember of earlier versions of Ghost, it should handle it just as well.
