Hello ,
There might be some programs, spywares and viruses on the computer that is
causing the installation to get corrupted each time. I would suggest format
the hard drive , install windows xp sp2 first and then go ahead all other
programs.
You can order for a free SP2 cd from the MS technet website ie www.technet.com
Good Luck!
