Unable to download Windows Service Pack 2. I go through the motions but it just says installation was unsuccessful! No bloomin reason WHY it was unsuccessful!
I have JUST reformatted my hard drive cos of this and a few other problems but it still wont install!

Any ideas PLEEZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZZ?

:swt:
 
Sounds rather strange, first off, reboot and make sure that you have all the latest video drivers / graphics drives / motherboard chipset e.t.c

Now reboot. Try install XP Sp2 again, if it does not work again, then forget about it and download this:
http://download.microsoft.com/downl...0-73cf11fdcdf8/WindowsXP-KB835935-SP2-ENU.exe

It's rather large it weighs in at : 272Mb

However this should sort your problem, XP SP2 would not install on one my home machines for some reason so i downloaded that, and it was fine.

If this doesn't work, post these things please:
Make of your computer (ie: Dell, Self Built, Tiny, HP e.t.c)
Hardware: motherboard, memory (if self built)
 
If that doesn't work u cud always send for the free cd off microsoft. Howeva itdoes take weeks to arrive.
 
or go get a pc magazine, u can usually find them with XP SP2 cd's free with the mags still..
 
You could try to slipstream SP2 with an existing XP cd and do a fresh install from there. Before that you can try to do a fresh install of windows through repair and then try SP2 install incase it was a duff Windows that was causing the problem.
 
Thank you sooooo very much, sorted now - bloody thing has a mind of its own! :sick:

PS ProcalX tried to give u some rep pts but it told me to spread myself around first. Hmmmm.............. :swt:
