sonic,
I am glad you posted your problem here, this is an example of something that a lot of people need to know! It's pretty complicated tho. You have 2 choices, either do a clean install all over again and then immediately apply service pack 2 or make your own cd by slipstreaming sp2 into the install files for xp. The important part in all this is not to load any old drivers and to not have any programs running in the background when applying the service pack.Comment

So if you have sp2 this type of thing won't happen? It hasn't happened to me I am just curious. Thanks Wooke!sigpic
Turn down the suck...Turn up the
good

just have nothing running in the background, sp2 might be too late to fix tho,
really need to start from scratch but it's worth a tryComment

What may have happened was after you installed windows, and then other programs, something was running in the background when you applied service pack1. For over a year now I have been installing xp w/ sp2 as a clean install and haven't seen any of these kinds of issues.
Service pack 2 is fine, it's user error.
the service packs were to make xp better!Comment

i saw that just last week; except this guy's pc would barely boot. he had tried to install sp2 with somethink like 70 processes. it'd take 10 min to bring up the start menu (after which it would hang), ctrl+alt+delete, etc. it wouldn't even boot in safe mode!. decided on a clean install on another partition-- it wouldn't boot from the cd, and he didn't have a floppy.Originally Posted by Chewy
ended up i just booted normally, brought up task manager (20 min), ran command prompt from there and system restore from there. took 8 bloody hours, restored it to 2 weeks earlier, backed up files, did an emergency clean install. that guy owes me

As windows xp matures you are gonna see more and more of this,
what got slipstreaming and administrative install points started was W2k.
After 2 or 3 service packs and a few years in service the OS would start getting corrupt, system admin/techs and general users would pull out their original cd's and try to do a repair disk(booting to cd), after the repair, a lot of workstations wouldn't even boot. Microsoft/OEM's should supply all
XP users a cd with sp2 integrated, instead they just gave us the tools and directions to do it ourselves. It's about as hard as using the wizard.Comment
