"Access denied" when reinstalling XP Home SP 2

[Gunter Weyer]

Hi there,

had to repair my XP Home with integrated SP2. After repairing the partition
with the original XP Home CD incl. SP1 and trying to reinstall SP2, I get
the message "access denied". The SP2 installation process then gets reversed
and I am left with a unstable XP Home SP1. Anyone any idea? Thanks a lot in
advance. Gunter

Yeah, but accessing the forum/thread via http://forum.aumha.org (an old URL)
can screw up Session Cookies for the "real" URL. The default for Aumha
Forums now is http://aumha.net (and has been for about 2 years). Thanks.

Ah, ok, I missed the obvious! I have that old link in my notes. It's been
changed.
