I am getting very frustrated. I mistakenly accepted the automatic update for
sp2, which failed with a winsrv not found error on reboot. I tried using
recovery console, but it would not recognize my password because the laptop
was syspreped at the factory.
I tried doing a repair using the sp1 version from my MSDN DVD... but when it
reached the point where it asked for the key, it keeps telling me it is
invalid... even though it was the one provided by my msdn subscription.
I tried using the key from my original XP disk, however it says that key is
invalid as well..
This is maddening. Is the Windows XP Professional Upgrade key different than
a standard XP key?
