Actually, the network install is fine for single computers

I have installed SP2 on two....an 865 based laptop and an 875 based
desktop.... Both installations went seamlessly and the machines have
thus far exhibited no issues.
Have you made sure that you have the latest BIOS and chipset drivers for
your mobo?

WPAInfo says I'm still "Fully Licensed" with no lost component votes.
If you had to "just format and re-install" then YMMV. If part of your
recovery dance was to reformat C:, then you'd lose the vote of C:'s
volume serial number. With votes lost from other causes, that might
tip you into having to reactivate XP.
Never turn your back on an installer program
Both were on Prescotts, with the caches enabled.
What revision number is the mobo you are using?
If it is an early revision, it may have issues with Prescotts.

as to enable those of us who are not computer experts, (as so many of you
assume to be....)to download and reconfigure as necessary. The major problem
with XP has been Microsofts inability to be upfront, forthright, and honest
with the general public. Detailed installation and detailed information, not
KISS which is their normal routine, need to be available, and if not
available, then FREE support needs to be available.
I don't need Microsoft telling me to get anti-virus software, I need
Microsoft to do their job, and fix their program. Too many sites require
pop-ups to function properly. I work hard and do not have time to reconfigure
programs, sites, etc... to allow that site to operate correctly with XP
because Microsoft developed a poorly written operating system with flaws
thruout. Unfortunaltely they are, realistically, the only operating system
available (Microsoft).
