after downloading SP2, my computer wont boot up. i have
tried starting from safe mode but its still the same. big
problem is i have not backed up all my data, can anyone
help me at least to boot up with a minimal driver so i
can just copy my data?
 
Hi

Try 'Last Known Good Configuration' - same screen as the access to Safe
Mode - to see if you can boot into Windows normally.
 
Sam;
How to use the Automatic Recovery feature to recover your computer if
the Windows XP Service Pack 2 Setup program is not completed
successfully:

Reboot tapping F8 each second.
Select "Last known good configuration" at the menu.
If that fails, reboot tapping F8 again this time choosing Safe Mode.
Then System Restore to Date/Time before issue started:
Start/All Programs/Accessories/System Tools/System Restore

Otherwise perform a Repair Installation:

When you are ready for SP-2, follow the Service Pack Installation
