xp home sp2 update fails; restore required
I've completely formatted my pc, and reinstalled xp home from the original
dell cd (which is a pre-sp1 cd). The system installs and boots properly. I then do the sp1 update from the Windows update site, and that works; the system boots properly. I then do the sp2 update for the Windows update site, and the system will no longer boot; it tells me to go to safe mode and do a restore. I can then restore to the sp1 point, and the system works again. Is this a known problem? Thanks, willie |
