Hello,

I'm using a P4 Prescott and a Asus P4p800s (Prescott compatible)
motherboard.

I've been using XP Pro with all updates done for over six months and it
worked like magic.

But when I installed SP2 yesterday - the computer gets stuck at the startup
screen. I can't even access safemode. I get a access is denied error message
when I try to get to My Document folders in "cmd" mode. The whole computer
is totally screwed.

I found this article on the internet and it explains everything

Seems that flashing the bios to the latest one will help.

Goto the motherboard site and download the latest bios file.
