Reinstall all SP2 and XP Updates from disc?
For some reason my XP Pro won't recognise my camcorder any more. SFC indicates corruption. I'd like to reinstall XP. BUT, if I reinstall from the Asus disk I will have XP old version, pre SP1. Can I then reinstall all SP2 and XP Updates from disc? Or will I have to download everything from scratch from the MS update site? I have all the $ folders on my %systemroot%.
Thanks, Gabriele |

You will have to download SP2 and all post hotfixes after SP2. The folders that you are describing, it just to uninstall hotfixes. I would download SP2 first before you reinstall XP then install SP2 before connecting to the internet. You can download SP2 here http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en -- William |

The best way would be to make a slipstreamed XP SP2............a method where Sp2 is incorporated into XP and made bootable.
In this way you would do one installation and then check for updates on the website. here is a website on how to do this http://www.nu2.nu/bootcd/ look down the page for Bootable Windows XP installation CD-Rom (with SP1) and just sub SP2 for SP1 It works great peterk -- It's so much easier to suggest solutions when you don't know too much about the problem "Gabriele Azzaro" wrote in message ...

Thanks, Gabriele Your best bet is to create a new installation CD with SP2 splipstreamed into it and then install from that. Nlite is a free utility that will make the slipstreamed CD and will also incorporate the Post-SP2 updates into the CD if you download and save these. http://www.nliteos.com/ Good luck Ron Martell Duncan B.C.
