SP2 UPGRADATION - SYSTEM RESTART

[Guest]

Recently I had to reinstall Win XP after a hard disk crush. Every thing went
well nut I am not able to upgrade to Service Pack 2. I am trying both from
Microsoft original CD and fresh downloaded pack. In both the cases after
unpacking and checking disk space it starts some driver loading, but then
suddenly the system reboots. After restarting in the right hand botton corner
it shows upgrades are ready to install. When I starts that it reached the
previous state of checking disk space and install driver and then restart
again. I have tried 20 times but with same result.

Can any one please help me ? Thanks a lot.

Check the logs, %windir%\Svcpack.log and %windir%\setupapi.log, for
errors. Since the system is restarting when a driver is installed, did
you install any updated drivers when SP2 was previously installed ?

Thanks a lot Mr. Green.
The problem was caused by installing few upgrades earlier than reuired.
Actualy they are suppose to be installed after SP2. However it was very
dificult to idenfy them also also would be more time taking. I had to take
the easier path. Reinstalled XP and then loaded SP2.

THanks for your time.
