If it isn't, is it possible to locate the installation packs for Microsoft updates, so that they can be backed up somewhere else until system restore is complete?

You will lose the updates after restoring. Why not just update it again, it's more simpler.

Once you have SP2 installed, System Restore will NOT lose the files that come with the pack..in fact it wont touch any saved/downloaded update files from M.Soft Windows Update..the only thing is depending on how long you have been using your PC, it would need to be a near fresh install of Windows to be able to restore back to the very first restore point as Windows auto-deletes them as it goes along because while you install/uninstall new+old programs/services/drivers,etc+the space allocated to Sys.Restore builds up+eventually gets rid of old restore points due to the data held in them being too big for the allocated space. To check and adjust (if you wish) the restore point allocation space, launch System Restore, and on the welcome page (1st one), on the left side at the bottom should be an underlined sentence in blue saying System Restore Settings, click on it and in middle of the opened dialogue box should be a tab saying Settings. In there you can see how much of your hard drive space is allocated to the monitored drive(s),and you can adjust as necessary if you wish..
like first guy said, you will lose your updates among other things. If you do that you might as well use your restore disk and restore PC back to factory settings, you will lose all and your info must be backed up, but it will fix anything as long as it's not a hardware issue
