Another perfect XP SP2 installation

[Stephen Sentoff]

I loaded the SP2 update from the Windows Update site.
Took all the recommended settings.
69 minutes from hitting the Install button to up and running on SP2.
Includes the download, installation, reboot and answering the new security
questions.

Works as advertised.

I think mine took a less than that. 45 ~ 50 for me.

Did you do all of the recommended spyware scans, adware scans, virus
scans, disk cleanup, and shutdown of running programs before you
installed? If you skip all of that it could be done much faster.
