The worst part is that when I try and uninstall sp2, it says file not found
and does not uninstall successfully. System restore also does not work.
Even when I try to go to a download site to re download the service pack, I
get a blank screen. I tried calling Microsoft and they don't have an
answer. They say the only thing we can do now is try the xp disc but HP pc
did not come with a disc. Suggestions are greatly appreciated as I am using
my old pc to post since I get a low memory message on the other one when I
try to send an e-mail.

Thanks

HP Pavilions that ship with Microsoft Windows XP do
not come with recovery CDs. Instead, they use a hidden
space (partition) on the hard drive to store the recovery
information.

Read the following article thoroughly, then follow
the steps outlined to perform a "non-destructive"
recovery operation.
