Problem with continuous reboot after installation on WinXP SP2

[Ticked off hubby]

My husband installed WinXP SP2 this morning on his business computer after
being prompted by Windows Update. Since then the computer just continuously
reboots. He has tried a cold reboot but no success. Has anyone else had
this problem? What caused it and how do we resolve

He needs to uninstall SP2. Here are a couple of suggestions that might work
