SP1 corrupts system

C

Charlie

Hi,

My old machine crashed. I have a registered copy of XP
Home and XP Pro.
I formatted the HD on the machine I want to load XP.
It loads fine and I download SP1. After downloading SP1
the computer goes into constant reboot and it runs check
disk continually.
I have tired "How to recover from a Corrupted Registry
tht prevents XP from Starting" article 307545. No luck.
Can anyone help me out?

Thanks
Charlie

I have seen this happen if you have an hidden utility
partition on your drives. Or if you have evil virus
software. Check those two.
