Lost XP SP2, MS says computer already has but does not
When you use an older version (XP "Gold" or XP SP1) to Repair an SP2
installation, you need to fix the installation disk to "slipstream" SP2. See: http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&q=slipstream+sp2 Make a slipstreamed installation disk and then do the Repair again. -- Gary S.
