I am assuming then that you have the "packed" version of the service pack,
which is a single program called sp6i386, or something like that. To unpack
it, run the service pack program from a command line with the /x switch,
like this:
SP6i386 /x
The program will then unpack and prompt you for where the files should go. I
usually just put it in c:\i386\nt4sp6a, but feel free to to specify whatever
you want.
