Default SP2 Disaster Continued

I've reported about my SP2 installation failure already:
Subject: SP2 Disaster for XP here; Not solved yet.
The previous threads appear dead; I'm continuing my story here.

Briefly, I can't boot form the drive that I installed SP2 to.
To remedy the problem, I tired...

A. system restore
Result: Didn't help

B. uninstalling SP2 using
"1. At the command prompt in Recovery Console, type the following lines.
Press ENTER after each line.
cd $NtServicePackUninstall$\Spuninst
batch spuninst.txt
exit
"
Result: it said
"The system cannot find the file or directory specified"
(System Restore probably already removed the file.)

C. A repair install of Win XP
Result: error code, a stop code, 0x0000007B (4 parameters)
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;324103
The solution has to be in resolving this.

D. I called and emailed MS, Phone-in Case # SRX040824605385

Result: email back saying it was a duplicate case to the phone-in case,
so they were closing the email case.

So I'm ready to tackle the 0x0000007B problem. I'm going to try the
driver issue possibility first.

I have another working non-SP2 Win XP drive that I'm using to operate. I
can attach, as a slave, the problem drive and see everything.

What does "miniport driver" mean? is that different from a regular

Default SP2 Disaster Continued

Nehmo,

I installed SP2 on my Windows XP Pro Media Center system without any
problems. After the install and restart, SP2 goes through a configuration
phase. You have an opportunity to turn on the new firewall and make a few
other choices. If you did not turn off your anti-virus and Zone Alarm
before starting the SP2 install, this may have caused your problem.

If it were me, I think I would connect the 120Gb drive as a slave, and back
up any data needed to CD or DVD. Then I would clone the working XP boot
drive onto the 120Gb drive using Ghost. After doing this you should be able
to boot from the 120gb drive. If that doesn't work, the boot sector on the
drive could be damaged or unuseable.

Default SP2 Disaster Continued

I'm wondering if you haven't coincidentally suffered some unrelated HW
failure. The best way to check that possibility is to start with a clean HD
and do a clean XP install.

I obviously did something wrong too.

I made a full image backup, installed SP2, installed a NOD32 beta update to
get it recognized by the Security Center, and now everything is working
perfectly.

Bummer!

If it were me, I think I would connect the 120Gb drive as a slave, and

back
up any data needed to CD or DVD.


- Nehmo -
I only have a floppy drive, a CD reader, a 15 GB HD, a 120 GB HD (these
just described; the 120 is now connected as a slave to the 15 master),
and I also have an 80 GB HD (not currently attached). So I suppose, I
could copy the important stuff from the 120 to the 80. - This is getting
to be a mess with the files. Actually, before this SP2 incident, I
wasn't through copping stuff _from_ the 80!

- lgadbois -
Then I would clone the working XP boot
drive onto the 120Gb drive using Ghost. After doing this you should be

able
to boot from the 120gb drive.


- Nehmo -
Okay, then I would be able to boot from the 120 GB, but then what? The
working 15 GB, which I would be coppying from, doesn't have SP2
installed. I'd like to be able to install SP2 on my 120, but the same
thing probably will happen. I'll kill the boot-ability of the 120 drive
again. I need to find out what went wrong. It's probably just one little
thing somewhere.

- lgadbois -
If that doesn't work, the boot sector on the
drive could be damaged or unuseable.


- Nehmo -
The 120 is a new drive, and I ran SCNDSK, finding nothing wrong. But if
it is bad, I could make the 80 a boot drive and live with that. The 120
is under warantee.

MS said they would call within 48 hours of my phone-in incident report.
Thats going to be up tomorrow morning. They must have seen similar
events.
