SP3 intall failure

[Steve F]

I just installed SP3. Now my system runs bios then boots xp then resets and
starts the boot sequence all over again. Turned system off and on; same
symptomes.

Tried booting into safe mode; same symptoms.

Tried booting into Last KNown good config that workd; same symptoms.

Tried booting into Disable Auto Restart on System Failure. That lock on page
displaying "The Session Manager Intiallization System Process terminated
unexpectedly with status of (0x0000c60)(0x00000000)(0x00000000). The system
has been shut down."

Any ideas on how to get my system back?

Gee, if the components are OK for SP2, can you name anything that won't run
with SP3?
Get a new HDD---are you kidding?

Not needed. Are you a HDD salesman?
