no boot after SP2 - Virtual Mem errors?

[AC]

Evening all

My hard drive recently crashed, so after purchasing a new drive I got XP up
and running again. First thing I did was to get the network back up and
running and start downloading updates.
After the third reboot for the updates, SP2 downloaded and installed. Ever
since it's reboot I cannot get back into windows at all.
What I have caught is that when the system boots, just before XP would open
up, there is an error message. "Not enough virtual memory or page file ....
" (That's all I can read before the system automatically reboots.
Nothing has worked for me. I tried to repair the installation by booting
from the CD, I tried safe mode, and just about every other option I can come
up with and nothing seems to work.

Does anyone out there have any ideas on what could be causing my problem??

Thx
J Pierce

At start up,tap the F8 key,select safe mode,enter xp as administrator,in xp
R.click my computer,properties,advanced,performance,virtual memory,change
button,L.click on C: drive,then select "let windows manage" then click set 2X
close out,a restart should be prompted.Also,even a old drive with bad sectors
can be set up as outlined and set as a page file,this increases memory,just
format it first...
