When installing win xp media edition is asks for insert service pa

[Guest]

Hi,

I'm trying to do a fresh install of win xp media edition 2005 and it asks
for the service pack 2 disk.

I looked on all three disks that came with the small box and there is'nt one
labeled service pack 2 on it.

So i canceled the request and now when xp was loaded it does'nt have
internet explorer and abunch of other stuff missing.

What's going on, i thought this should of been an easy install.

Thanks for the help
Ryan


p.s. i'm trying to install xp so i can make a video slide show for my
wedding and it's only 40 days away.... i might be in big trouble if I can't
get this to work

The problem is that you upgraded to XP ME SP2........and you are trying to
reinstall an older version.
2 choices..........download the SP2 patch and Slipstream it into your copy
of XPME

Format the HD that XP ME sp2 is on and start from scratch

When it asks for the XP SP2 disc it's asking you to put the first disc back
in. You're not the first to be confused by this. Start over.
